Transcript excerpt via CSPAN, its entirety at the above link. Speaker identification by me.:
Unidentified SpeakerThe gentleman later left the chamber, walking out on his own hearing. Sorry Charlie, not original. Howard Hughes did the same thing long before you, although you may have been representing Harlem then, and he knew enough to bring a lawyer. I find it amazing that he fired his legal team a few days ago and now claims he is being denied legal representation. No free lawyers offering their services to you Chuck?

I GATHER THAT YOU DO NOT OBJECT TO THE ADMISSION OF THE EVIDENCE THAT HAS BEEN PROFFERED BY COMMITTEE COUNSEL AND THEREFORE --
Unidentified Speaker (Rangel)
I OBJECT TO THE PROCEEDING, AND I, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, SINCE I DON'T HAVE COUNSEL TO ADVISE ME, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO EXCUSE MYSELF FROM THESE PROCEEDINGS...
Unidentified Speaker
MADAME CHAIR, BEFORE THE RESPONDENT LEAVES MAY I ASK THE CHAIR AN ADDITIONAL QUESTION?
Unidentified Speaker
CERTAINLY.
Unidentified Speaker
EVEN THOUGH THE RESPONDENT DID NOT SPECIFICALLY MAKE A MOTION TO CONTINUE THIS HEARING, I DEEM HIS COMMENTS TO BE A MOTION TO CONTINUE. AND I WOULD LIKE...

Janet Nepolitano tells passengers to just lay back and enjoy it. The TSA person will touch you where and how they like. Just be patient, it will be over when the highly trained agent is satisfied. I do not object if this was a requirement by the property owners for people getting onto their property. I object that the government is engaging in security theater, with our tax dollars, to 'overly protect' owners of expensive aircraft.

| Terrorists like KSM are sometimes known to dress as women. |
"The administration has concluded that it cannot put Mohammed on trial in federal court because of the opposition of lawmakers in Congress and in New York. There is also little internal support for resurrecting a military prosecution at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The latter option would alienate liberal supporters.Why even go through the show of saying you are going to have a trial, then saying even if found not guilty KSM can still be held in jail. In this story I am amazed again. This time with this administration admitting that their approach to this terrorist is entirely political. That has been their and the Clinton administration approach to terrorism the whole time.
The administration asserts that it can hold Mohammed and other al-Qaeda operatives under the laws of war, a principle that has been upheld by the courts when Guantanamo Bay detainees have challenged their detention."
