--I understand what Mr. Cotler's issue is. But this is a state issue, and I would suggest, frankly, that on his basis it violates the very principles of international law, because what he's suggesting is that judges would be able to decide what is a terrorist state or what is a terrorist entity. I think that's more of a state-to-state issue, from my perspective, and the principles of international law would be violated.
