 | Chris Dodd Democratic Candidate
Connecticut | Counter-Terrorism/Detention - "But walking away from international conventions, as we did with the Geneva Conventions to disallow the restrictions on torture, I think, is a mistake, and also to walk away from habeas corpus." NBC/MSNBC Democratic debate at Dartmouth, NH, 9/26/07
- "The vote taken last fall that established the Military Commissions Act, abandoning habeas corpus, restoring torture and walking away from the Geneva Convention was as bad a vote as I've seen cast in 26 years." KOS Candidate Forum, 8/5/2007
- "I'd close down Guantanamo immediately here, because that's been a symbol of our destroyed and damaged moral leadership in the world. " Interview with Rev. Al Sharpton on MSNBC's Hardball, 7/2/07
Trade Agreements - "Fifty years of this policy, of the [Cuban trade] embargo has basically left the same man in power, the same repressive politics, an economy that's been failing in the country. He has been using that as an excuse for his own failures. As president of the United States, I would begin to unravel that embargo. I would lift travel restrictions, so Cuban Americans can go visit their families." Univision Network Democratic Presidential Debate, 9/9/07
