I would have to defer until I go to the heart of the experts. All I know is that the name--if we are detaining certain individuals and the enemy does not know whom we have captured, and they, therefore, have to shelve some of their plans, knowing that the persons who are missing from their roster, if they were to talk about the plans, they would make the plans less valuable to the enemy--I mean, I am just working through the obvious scenarios here. Now, whether a number would suffice, I would like to go back to those who are dealing with this on a daily basis.
