Our men and women in uniform deserve the best intelligence possible to help them protect America.

I also believe that it is time to begin the fundamental analysis of how we got here what led us here and what we need to do in order to ensure that we are equipped with the best possible intelligence as we face these issues in the future.

I do not - I never believed it's better to kill a terrorist than to detain him. We want to detain as many terrorists as possible so we can elicit the intelligence from them in the appropriate manner so that we can disrupt follow-on terrorist attacks.

It is difficult if not impossible to argue that laws written in the 1970s are adequate for today's intelligence challenges.

Prior to the passage of the Patriot Act it was very difficult - often impossible - for us to share information with the Central Intelligence Agency with NSA with the other intelligence agencies and likewise for them to share information with us.

It is impossible to underrate human intelligence - beginning with one's own.

God is another name for human intelligence raised above all error and imperfection and extended to all possible truth.

With self-discipline most anything is possible.

Nothing is impossible the word itself says 'I'm possible'!

But in a 24-hour day the 25th hour is also the impossible hour an hour that doesn't exist that can only be created by the imagination.
