So what did you learn from yesterday's hearing, if you will, with the secretary? How are you possibly readjusting your focus or questions accordingly today? Well, I think the first thing to note is that We've been at this war for now almost exactly two months, and yesterday and today are the first public hearings where an official from the administration is talking to the American people and to the members of Congress about the war. That in itself is ridiculous. There should have been briefings certainly at the time and right along, and there have been some classified briefings, but no case was made to the public. (00:25–00:38)
