The impact, hey, theyre back there calling the shots. Would that have a demoralizing impact on the unit . If you were still with that unit . Oh, no. American forces are going to do whatever they can every single day to do what theyre supposed to do. I dont think theyre really worried about anybody else. Okay. Mr. Walsh, in terms of permanent impact on policy, have we set a precedence by doing this in regards to all the other terrorists groups 1234. I believe we have, congressman. I believe weve set a dangerous precedent and id encourage this body to look at future efforts towards release and calls to close guantanamo. We had these gentleman detained. Men and women gave their lives to detain them. And now, unfortunately, i believe, men and women will give their lives to capture or kill them once again. Thank you. And i want to thank the panel.

For the week to come. The speaker pro tempore without objection, the gentleman is recognized. Mr. Hoyer mr. Speaker, before i inquire of the majority leader, i want to say at the outset, i have now and have had Great Respect for the majority leader.

When we were there, for instance, maliki removed every single bedivide commander in the Brigade Commander in the National Police and twothirds of the [inaudible] some of them twice. So we forced accountability on the state. But when we removed that check on malikis baser tendencies, he was able to do whatever he wanted to do starting with the attempted arrest of the Vice President of the state of iraq. And just to follow up on that , maliki has his own set of Political Considerations only some of which are to have an effective fighting force and some of which are to create Patronage Networks and all those sorts of things. One of the things that was interesting to me about your account of the charge of the knights is it wasnt clear to me whether maliki thought the u. S. Was actually vital in his inning. And maliki may
Referred to recommendation 11. Okay. And so we think its depending on what the California Supreme Court decided this could affect other Electronic Communications that isnt about email but to the take the opportunity extending stent an official can use private emails and text and otherwise and claim because its not on the public Communication System s it is automatically not subject to the private act so that question which the District Attorneys Office is advised they shouldnt make the argument but it the definitely a gray area and an ear where the law is developing thats all when a the commissioner is trying to get at.
