At that time, about July 5, we had no Iraqi corrections officers working for us. It was a responsibility of the CPA, with contractors, to set up a training program.

There was a military police brigade with over 3,400 soldiers getting ready to go home because their mission - prisoner-of-war operations - was finished.

I knew how many MPs I had assigned to the brigade, how many military prison operations I would be running, but we needed to evaluate how many criminal prison operations we could support.

I had 16 other prisons that I needed to pay attention to, and we did. And I had 3,400 soldiers who were depending on me to take care of them, and I did.

They transfer the prison, and all of a sudden all this money cuts loose, all these people cut loose.

The day after the prison was transferred to the military intelligence command, they had an entire battalion - 1, 200, 1, 500 soldiers - arrive at Abu Ghraib just for force protection alone.

My dream is that every child has enough food to eat, good medical care, and the chance to go to school and even attend college.

Pale ink is better than the most retentive memory.

When you’ve done everything you can to train yourself for competition, you’ll sleep well when the tournament is over, win or lose.

By all means write new songs. Each generation must do that. But to neglect the church's original hymnbook is, to put it bluntly, crazy

Whats up, Seaweed Brain?

Being English definitely gave me some insight into these eccentric Brits puttering around Hollywood.
