“למתמודדים לנשיאות להגיד שהם ישחררו אסירים מגואנטנמו בתמורה לחטוף, זה נוגד את המהות ההיסטורית של ארצות הברית ומה שאנו עושים במדיניות שלנו. זה תמים. איננו יכולים לעשות זאת. מצבה של ארצות הברית היה טוב בגלל שהייתה לנו מדיניות אבסולוטית: לא מנהלים משא ומתן.”
“אני נולדתי בארצות הברית ואני אזרחית אמריקנית גאה. תמיד הייתי מחויבת ב־100% לארצות הברית ולחוקה שלנו.”
