Mr. McSorley, you mentioned in your opening remarks the horrible time we had with the transfer of Afghan detainees—the torture and secrecy and the lack of transparency around that. We then saw it repeated in the Somalia affair. There were a lot of parallels there.
The documents about that Afghan detainee transfer still haven't been released. Somalia led to calls for an independent civilian oversight body to be created with the power to summon documents and, again, to report to Parliament.
I would love to hear from all three witnesses, because you've all talked and written about the need for greater civilian oversight of the military. What do you think about the creation of an independent oversight agency?
