The American people do not have the information upon which they can hold the administration and responsible agencies accountable. I call that a coverup.

The American people have been denied important information for their own protection.

My opponents on the inside have said that the American people shouldn't hold them responsible for everything that happens because we don't understand how things work in Washington,

The American people should be informed about what kind of capability terrorists have inside the United States. They should be informed of why we are not using information to do a more effective job of dealing with terrorists.

By continuing to classify that information so that it's not available to the American people, the American people have been denied important information for their own protection, for the protection of the communities,

Public servants should always be accountable and responsible for what they are advocating, and I challenge the American people to demand this from their representatives.
