On the recordJune 14, 2004
On the question of the interrogation, I would like to have an opportunity to revisit that. My immediate concern is maybe 90 days is short and perhaps there is some flexibility there. If I can return to the part B, that gives me very serious concern, and that is the combat missions that require routine engagement. For example, so much of the security for Ambassador Bremer today is all contracted. Much of the security, as I understand, which is given to other members of the Iraqi government, to the extent they avail themselves of what the coalition forces--that is nonmilitary, Ambassador Bremer's operation--make available to them, I do not know how we are going to meet those needs. If you follow this to the letter, you would have to have all soldiers doing that.
