I just want to say to the families, what we owe to you is a vigorous prosecution to the full extent of the law of the criminal. But If this legal order is upheld, and these were unlawful missions, these individuals shouldn't have been here.

And if those legal orders are withheld, there's something additionally we owe these families. (00:08–00:15)
