Human beings exercise responsibilities within a social setting and a framework of obligations which transcend the principle of intelligence.

If the presence of electricity can be made visible in any part of the circuit I see no reason why intelligence may not be transmitted instantaneously by electricity.

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.

In November they transferred control of Abu Ghraib to the military intelligence command completely it was after all the center for interrogations for Iraq.

It's part of a writer's profession as it's part of a spy's profession to prey on the community to which he's attached to take away information - often in secret - and to translate that into intelligence for his masters whether it's his readership or his spy masters. And I think that both professions are perhaps rather lonely.

The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create to overcome to endure to transform to love and to be greater than our suffering.

It is all very well to copy what one sees but it is far better to draw what one now only sees in one's memory. That is a transformation in which imagination collaborates with memory.

Imagination is not only the uniquely human capacity to envision that which is not and therefore the fount of all invention and innovation. In its arguably most transformative and revelatory capacity it is the power to that enables us to empathize with humans whose experiences we have never shared.

There are many ways to be free. One of them is to transcend reality by imagination as I try to do.

First comes thought then organization of that thought into ideas and plans then transformation of those plans into reality. The beginning as you will observe is in your imagination.
