July 2006 Congressional Testimony
The Boston Globe reported on July 11, 2006 that Hutson was scheduled to testify before the House and Senate Armed Services Committees. The Globe reported, at length, comments Hutson had made regarding a memo from Deputy Secretary of Defense Gordon England telling Armed Forces personnel to comply with the Geneva Conventions in its treatment of captives: "It kind of takes the wind out of the sails of people who say the Congress should simply authorize what the president had done in his original order. I'd like to see something coming of the CIA or Negroponte similarly."

“All the experts here ... say “There will be no war.” They said the same thing all through July 1914.... In those days I believed the experts. Today I have my tongue in my cheek. This does not mean I am become cynical; but as President I have to be ready just like a Fire Department!”

“...If any place will not welcome you and they refuse to hear you, as you leave, shake off the dust that is on your feet as a testimony against them.”
