I think freedom means freedom for everybody.

We haven't really had the time yet to pore through all those records in Baghdad. We'll find ample evidence confirming the link, that is the connection if you will between al Qaida and the Iraqi intelligence services. They have worked together on a number of occasions.

[In response to the question Do you think that you underestimated the insurgency's strength?] I think so. I guess if I look back on it now, I don't think anybody anticipated the level of violence that we've encountered.
