I think what he's - what he believes and he may be correct I don't know that we have some intelligence information that leads us to know some things about what's going on in Iraq that we haven't revealed to others.

Most people have no imagination. If they could imagine the sufferings of others they would not make them suffer so. What separated a German mother from a French mother?

Imagination it turns out is a great deal like reporting in your own head. Here is a paradox of fiction-writing.
