The state is in violation of its own law. There are definitely response issues. We are on borrowed time right now for another serious incident.

Are we in violation of any state statutes?

We're living on borrowed time. We have to demonstrate what we can do on our own before it is taken out of our hands.

My response will be swift, but it'll have to be done at the appropriate time. It has to run its course.

I think we are going to definitely have a fight on state-secret issues. I would also point out that the state-secret privilege has never come up in a case where the rights of so many have been at issue.

Britain can be proud of its response to the tsunami appeal.
