In the Q&A round, she was asked about whether she supports the legality Wikileaks. The Question was: Everybody's talking about the Wikileaks, how do we balance people's right to know with the need for government security?
Teresa replied, "When it comes to the security of our nation, we have to focus on security first and then people's right to know."
"It's important that everybody who's in our borders is safe and so we can't let things like that happen and they must be handled properly," she added.
