Have famous german philosopher that you have weeder is i cannot find their. Maybe i just have to paraphrase. It is europes duty to prepare a the way for when the good european comes into possession with that destiny but to supervise that universal culture of the world. To talk about the r d musec but muslims have to understand here in america cultural production has to include the intellectual effort them rearranges aspect of their broader culture of america because only in that way can we get americans to see themselves and us differently to understand all of this is a part of cultural production. I will stop there.

Do believe it could be a shortterm and longterm threat to the United States. Mr. Wagner . Yes, i also agree. And looking at the systems we have and how we look at the information we get with a persons reservation information and looking at itineraries and other characteristics of their travel, do they fit what we know about, you know, what the intelligence reporting are known factors . Try to talk to them and determine what their purpose and travel is. We have good systems to help us do that. We have good intelligence reporting to help us build those. We get good information from the department of state and other entities when we do want to take action against known individuals.

We have had Prisone

The gentleman from georgia is recognized for two minutes. Under current law, the president is required to notify Congress Prior to releasing any prisoners from Guantanamo Bay. Unfortunately, he failed to do that. Although im grateful to sergeant that Sergeant Bergdahl has been reunited with his family, i strongly disagree with the president s decision to negotiate with terrorists. I dont agree with his position to make this Prisoner Exchange without first consulting with congress and the manner required by federal law. The freeing of terrorists poses a National Security threat to americans and our armed forces and complicates its not going to change their perception one iota. I understand that people had an honest disagreement about the way the statute was interpreted and implemented. What i was just saying to you was that that is an h
