The mi-5, the mi-6, the police forces and the other elements that are responsible for protecting the public and working with international partners to stop terrorism. what would they want us to do? i think fundamentally what i would say is mr. president, number one, they want us to reach out to the people of the uk, express condolences and sorrow and also express resolve in the face of this and other attacks. second is, i wouldnt want to speculate publicly, privately or to anybody else about who...
