As a member of the House Select Committee on Intelligence I will be participating in several hearings on the startling revelations contained in the report.

The E.U. has moved to combat global terrorism by instituting common European arrest and evidence warrants and creating a joint situation center to pool and analyze intelligence.

I was an intelligence officer not a policy-maker.

If God be God and man a creature made in image of the divine intelligence his noblest function is the search for truth.

By the 2030s the nonbiological portion of our intelligence will predominate.

The great corporations of this country were not founded by ordinary people. They were founded by people with extraordinary intelligence ambition and aggressiveness.

Legislation passed in the aftermath of September 11 2001 enhanced our intelligence capabilities and strengthened our national defense but until now our nation's immigration policies have not adapted to the needs of a post-September 11th world.

The PATRIOT Act brought down the wall separating intelligence agencies from law enforcement and other entities charged with protecting the Nation from terrorism.

In reality serial killers are of average intelligence.

This president has been reluctant to hold anybody accountable. No one was held accountable after September the 11th. Nobody's been held accountable after the clear flaws in intelligence leading up to the war in Iraq.

During the Cold War we gathered information by listening to the Soviets taking pictures of the Soviets and we allowed our human intelligence to decline.

We need to make a greater investment in human intelligence.

We ought to recognize that we have an offensive responsibility to take the war to the terrorists where they are. That responsibility has waned in the last year as military and intelligence resources were withdrawn from Afghanistan and Pakistan to be used in Iraq.

I have had national security background 10 years on the Intelligence Committee the last two years as chair.

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 take parenting incredibly seriously. I want to be there for my kids and help them navigate the world and develop skills emotional intelligence to enjoy life and I'm lucky to be able to do that and have two healthy normal boys.

People's intelligence tends to be in inverse proportion to their number. People don't tend to get smarter as they get into bigger groups.

I sought Ben Affleck because I needed an everyman for this role. Ben appeals to men and women. He gives you a sense of intelligence the notion of a guy who can think on his feet.

The Patriot Act removed major legal barriers that prevented the law enforcement intelligence and national defense communities from talking and coordinating their work to protect the American people and our national security.

Some of the best fan mail I get are from our men and women in the military and intelligence communities. They say 'Boy you do your homework this is exactly how we're doing it.'

The prompt assimilation of that intelligence will be essential if we are to avoid another September 11th.

But it is equally incontrovertible that if our intelligence gathering process is seriously flawed we had better find out and find out fast if we are to avoid another Sept. 11.

When I was the director of Central Intelligence in the early '90s I tried to get the Air Force to partner with us in building drones. And they didn't want to because they had no pilots.

But some actors I have met possess an intelligence that I can only dream of. It's about character it's about behavior. They understand things about people that I simply don't see.
