Curt Weldon:

"Yes. When I heard it was 2.5 terabytes of data, I figured I’d call the Library of Congress and see what is that really? They said, well, Congressman, it’s equal to ¼ all the printed material that the Library of Congress has in its collection. You know that the Library of Congress is the largest library in the world. So we’re talking about a massive amount of data. It’s not about 1 chart, it’s not about 1 photograph, it’s about a massive amount of data, about the largest and most aggressive international terrorist organization in the world. And it was destroyed. And on top of being destroyed, the customer for that data, a Special Forces general, General Lambert, was never consulted before the data was ordered to be destroyed. And he was livid when he found out that his data had been deleted and had been destroyed by the gentleman who testified today."
