Thank you, Senator Chandler; she thinks I might be able to! I recognise the people like Senator Paterson who diligently follow this and understand this. We just can't have, on a whim, non-serious people involved in this committee. It is of real concern. Including additional members, some of whom can't necessarily be trusted with such serious matters, is of concern. Adding additional members runs an increased risk of classified material being leaked, either intentionally or inadvertently.
