I think I am aggressive, I think I am critical when it's necessary.

Democrats and Republicans love Israel and all of us care about the existential threat to Israel from Iran.

But as I often say, terrorists wont check our party registration before they blow us up.

So, you know, I think that Democrats are being more successful in Congress and I'm really going to be proud of the role I will play tomorrow as ranking Democrat on the Intelligence Committee when this bill passes.

At the same time as we clearly condemn actions of violence by groups in Palestinian against Israel.

We can no longer expect an Intelligence Community that is mostly male and mostly white to be able to monitor and infiltrate suspicious organizations or terrorist groups.

As the Ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, I have been briefed since 2003 on a highly classified NSA foreign collection program that targeted Al Qaeda. I believe the program is essential to US national security and that its disclosure has damaged critical intelligence capabilities.
