It's hard for me to imagine that some people in the CIA who had firsthand knowledge would be unable to recognize that this would be helpful information for a soldier's death.

I went overseas hoping to prove that all our POWs were home. I came back convinced that they were still alive.

We knew shortly after the war that our troops were becoming ill.

Everyone knows what can happen to soldiers who are in front line units.

We have to make sure the Hell the veterans come home from is not the Hell they come back to.

We know we want to support our troops. We want to make sure that they have all the equipment they need.

When I get the morning report on security, I call those battalions in the regions where there are problems.

This was a report from a single source. It was an established and reliable line of reporting. It was quoted from a senior Iraqi military officer in a position to know this information.

I know what soldiers or their families go through.

There is an army of the informed wanting to be more informed.
