I've never been able to get it straight about what these people who are worried about the trade deficit are worried about.

If information ends up in the wrong hands, the lives of people very often are immediately at risk.

Some people are so busy learning the tricks of the trade that they never learn the trade.

Now we have a whole separate supplier of data for Able Danger who's verifying that same information.

Things will absolutely go wrong. In a healthy team, as soon as things go wrong, that information should be surfaced. Trying to hide or obscure bad news creates an environment of distrust or lack of transparency.

Any bull market covers a multitude of sins, so there may be all sorts of problems with the current system that we won't see until the bear market comes.

There's a danger in the internet and social media. The notion that information is enough, that more and more information is enough, that you don't have to think, you just have to get more information - gets very dangerous.

There's always the risk that there are unknown unknowns.

I think we need to think beyond the issue of absolute risk.

I think if we're going to live in this - in this world - in this technological world where information can be disseminated so quickly, we have to be serious and take firm, strong action against those who are putting American lives at risk. Because this will put people's lives at risk.
