It would be an excellent opportunity to bring the topic into this building for discussion. At times I feel as though being a whistleblower in this country is like the cartoons I used to watch as a child. In one cartoon there was a dog whistle which nobody but the dog could hear. I wonder whether there is a certain pitch of whistle that is never heard in this country. Dr. Horgan has been consistently meticulous on this issue. What he has to say is astonishing, and it would be even more astonishing if he was incorrect because it would be the first time in my experience that he has been incorrect. It is essential that we bring the petitioners before us, because whether an attack results in a charred body in America or Afghanistan, the pain is the same. If we are facilitating the infliction of that pain, it needs to be exposed and we need to do something about it.
