 --LEAD IN--
IN NIGERIA, THE TERRORIST GROUP BOKO HARAM IS USING VIOLENCE AND BRAINWASHING TO FORCE 
WOMEN AND CHILDREN-- MOSTLY GIRLS-- TO BECOME SUICIDE BOMBERS.
C-N-N"S ROBYN KRIEL EXPLAINS MORE ON THE CHILLING TACTICS OF THIS ISIS AFFILIATE. 

 --REPORTER PKG-AS FOLLOWS-- 
A YOUNG CHILD WALKS DOWN A CROWDED MARKET STREET SOMEWHERE IN NORTHEASTERN NIGERIA. 
IT"S TERRITORY CONTROLLED BY BOKO HARAM. 
THE CHILD DETONATES A SUICIDE VEST, KILLING AND MAIMING DOZENS OF PEOPLE. 
A WOMAN THEN ENTERS THE SCENE AND DETONATES A SECOND DEVICE. 
THE SCENARIO IS HYPOTHETICAL. BUT THE REALITY ON THE GROUND IN NIGERIA, ACCORDING TO AMERICAN RESEARCHERS, IS THAT BOKO HARAM"S USE OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN ITS SUICIDE BOMBING CAMPAIGN IS STAGGERING, NEVER BEFORE SEEN AND HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL. 
A NEW STUDY REVEALS THAT WOMEN THUS FAR HAVE MADE UP A STARTLING 72 PERCENT OF BOKO HARAM"S SUICIDE BOMBER ARMY WITH AN IDENTIFIED GENDER ARE WOMEN. 
SINCE THE GROUP"S FIRST RECORDED SUICIDE BOMBING IN 2011, BOKO HARAM HAS USED 244 FEMALE SUICIDE BOMBERS. 
AND THE TERROR GROUP, THE RESEARCHERS SAY, IS "ON THE FOREFRONT OF NORMALIZING THE USE OF CHILDREN AS SUICIDE BOMBERS". 
OF THOSE BOMBERS WHOSE AGE WAS IDENTIFIED, 60 PERCENT WERE TEENAGERS OR CHILDREN. 
THE REPORT FOUND...
OF 134 SUICIDE BOMBERS WHOSE AGE WAS DETERMINED
53 WERE IDENTIFIED AS ADULTS..
53 AS TEENAGERS 
AND 28 AS CHILDREN…
THE YOUNGEST SUICIDE BOMBER THUS FAR WAS JUST SEVEN YEARS OLD. 
BOKO HARAM ALSO, THE EVIDENCE SUGGESTS, USES FOUR TIMES AS MANY LITTLE GIRLS AS THEY DO LITTLE BOYS. 
 ROBYN: "The study also finds that men and women and child suicide bombers tend to target different locations. Women and children are more prone to detonating in civilian locations- markets, bus stops or internally displaced people"s camps. Men are more likely to target christian or pro government institutions."
THE REASONS BEHIND THE TERRORISTS HEINOUS LOGIC, ACCORDING TO THE RESEARCHERS, IS THUS: 
WOMEN ARE LESS LIKELY TO BE SEARCHED. AND THEY CAN HIDE THEIR EXPLOSIVES UNDER THEIR BILLOWING CLOTHING, OR INSIDE HANDBAGS, OR STRAPPED ON THEIR BACKS WITH INFANT CHILDREN.
THERE ARE ALSO CASES OF MEN DRESSING AS WOMEN TO SLIP THROUGH SECURITY MORE EASILY.
WOMEN AND CHILDREN,<pi></pi>ACCORDING TO THE REPORT, ARE MORE EASILY RECRUITED THAN THEIR MALE COUNTERPARTS, WHETHER IT BE THROUGH VIOLENCE, BRAINWASHING OR FALSE PROMISES.
WOMEN AND FEMALE CHILDREN, IN PARTICULAR, ARE SEEN AS EXPENDABLE BY THE MALE TERRORIST LEADERSHIP. 
THEIR VULNERABILITY, IN THESE CASES, A DESTRUCTIVE, DEADLY CURSE.

 Boko Haram favors women, children as suicide bombers, study reveals
 By Robyn Kriel
 CNN
 (CNN) -- The majority of suicide bombers used by terror group Boko Haram to kill innocent victims are women and children, a US study reveals.
 Researchers at the Combating Terrorism Center at West Point and Yale University analyzed the 434 suicide bombings carried out by Nigeria-based militants Boko Haram since 2011, and found that at least 244 of the 338 attacks in which the bomber"s gender could be identified were carried out by women.
 The ISIS-affiliated insurgent group has sent 80 women to their deaths in 2017 alone. 
 Boko Haram"s use of women as bombers increased following the abduction of 276 female students aged between 16 and 18 from their school dormitories in April 2014. The Chibok Girls" abduction prompted the global "Bring Back Our Girls" campaign. 
 "Almost immediately after the Chibok kidnappings ... Boko Haram"s use of women suicide bombers skyrocketed," says Jason Warner, assistant professor at the Combating Terrorism Center at West Point, the United States" elite military academy. 
 The report suggests "that Boko Haram started using women suicide bombers after it realized the potency that gender and youth offer in raising its global profile after the Chibok kidnappings," he says. 

 Youngest bomber aged just 7
 As well as regularly employing women to carry deadly explosives, Boko Haram is also "at the forefront of normalizing the use of children as suicide bombers," according to the report.
 "Boko Haram has shattered demographic stereotypes as to what a suicide bomber looks like," says Warner. "It is the first terrorist group in history to use more women suicide bombers than men, and is at the vanguard of using children as suicide bombers." 
 Of the 134 suicide bombers whose age could be determined, 60% were teenagers or children. The youngest suicide bomber identified to date was just 7 years old.
 Boko Haram has used four times as many young girls as it has young boys, according to the study.
 Ellen Chapin, a Yale-based researcher who worked on the report, told CNN the militant group "deployed 42 teenage girls and 23 little girls (12 years old and under), compared to 11 teenage boys and five little boys." 
 The group"s reign of terror has left an estimated 35,000 dead over the last six years; Warner says the "vast majority" of the group"s victims are "innocent, everyday Nigerians, Cameroonians, Nigerians and Chadians, not government or military personnel." 
 "The loss of life caused by Boko Haram -- and the war against the group -- has been staggering," Warner says, adding that the conflict has forced more than two million Nigerians to flee their homes, with "profound humanitarian consequences."

 Women seen as "expendable"
 The report"s authors say there are several reasons why women and children are chosen as bombers, one being that they are far less likely to be searched.
 They can hide explosives under their billowing clothing, or inside handbags, and in some cases have even strapped explosives on their backs with infant children. 
 There are also reports of men dressing as women to slip through security more easily. 
 The researchers also believe that women and children are more susceptible to Boko Haram"s recruitment efforts than their male counterparts, through violence, brainwashing or false promises.
 Women and female children, in particular, are seen as expendable by the male terrorist leadership -- their vulnerability a destructive, deadly curse.
 One former insurgent told researchers that women "are cheap and they are angry for the most part," adding that "using women allows you to save your men."

 Mistrust spreading in communities
 Hilary Matfess, one of the lead authors of the report, told CNN the group"s choice of suicide bombers "upends social norms about women and children, which make them effective beyond merely the lives that they claim when they are detonated."
 The spreading of mistrust caused by the use of women and children in such deadly roles "undermines social cohesion and will make the process of post-conflict reconciliation and redevelopment all the more difficult," she says. 
 Researchers" fieldwork for the study was limited because northeastern Nigeria -- where Boko Haram is based -- is notoriously dangerous for locals and foreigners.
 "Media reports often did not report full details of the bombings," says Warner. "Even getting approximate ages of bombers proved to be very difficult ... and media accounts often did not even report the gender of the bombers."
 "In instances where age or gender was not reported, it might be reasonable to expect that the bomber was an adult man, and thus, age and gender were not newsworthy enough to report at all," he says. 
 Matfess spent much of her time in the field conducting face-to-face interviews with former Boko Haram insurgents, victims and family members affected by Boko Haram"s reign of terror.
 She said that as well as true suicide bombers, who are willing to die for a cause, Boko Haram also uses improvised explosives carried by unwilling victims and others coerced verbally, physically, materially or by violence. These are known as person-borne IEDs, or PBIEDs.
 "Children and those forced into serving as bombers cannot be considered "suicide bombers" and the counterterrorism measures against PBIED attacks can differ than the tactics deployed against an autonomous, dedicated suicide bomber," she says.

 Women stigmatized by bombings
 In Maiduguri, a town hit hard by Boko Haram"s suicide bombings, Matfess says the government has begun a campaign to raise public awareness about women and child bombers, explaining how to identify potential attackers.
 "The policy is well intentioned, [but] it risks stigmatizing the bombers, many -- though not all -- of whom have been coerced or forced into serving in this role," she said, adding that "the widespread suspicion of women and girls that these attacks have resulted in already puts women and girls at a disadvantage in the community." 
 Matfess said former Boko Haram members had told her that some women do join Boko Haram voluntarily, and some even volunteer to be suicide bombers.
 She recalled a meeting with a group of female Boko Haram members who had been "rescued" by the Nigerian military and were being held in a rehabilitation camp, but who "were still loyal to the insurgency."
 After talking to one of the group"s younger recruits, a 14-year-old called Fatima, who had already been married twice, the girl asked to braid her hair.
 "It was so clear to me then that this was just a young woman, with interests not very different from the [teenage] girls I grew up with, caught in the middle of tragic circumstances and a society marked by structural violence against women."

Ken Weaver 1:31 I find I found myself personally I found an innocence and with sprinkled with I don't know magical qualities and I suppose you could say that divinity divinity I don't know it's just a word Ed Sanders 1:53 What did God look like, Ken? what does she look like? Ken Weaver 2:01 I don't know. sort of get along it Shazam that's who he is really. Billy Batson buddy. And you're familiar we're familiar with Captain Marvel Comics we're, there's there's a quite often a scene where Billy Batson gets lured down into the subway, tunnel by man in a flop hat and he takes him takes him into a long chamber with statues on each side with greed and avarice and bigotry. And there's all Shazam sitting down at the end. He's really a great looking cat. He's got long white hair and big beard, but that's a comic book God, I don't know. I don't know if they're real. And if there is one looks like that might be hermaphrodite, I suspect it is David Susskind 2:49 Do you pause or perform under the influence of drugs? Does it help you as an artist? Tuli Kupferberg 2:55 Well, it helps me relate to people I get under an under an ecstatic experience. I get very affectionate. And that's always helpful, you know, helps you grow man that's we could use more or affection. David Susskind 3:11 Is marijuana and an affection inducing drug? Ed Sanders 3:14 Yes. Helps you a blip. Tuli Kupferberg 3:18 Yeah, this is this is what this is what people who have opposed drugs like even coffee and tobacco down through the ages, you know, used to be able to be executed for drinking coffee in Turkey. The beginning, and I think you're executed if you don't drink, drink coffee, and smoking to in some of the European countries. I think this is one of the this is one of the accusations that's been thrown against all drugs. I think what drugs do essentially is to break up your patterns. And this can happen without drugs too. Of course, it happened in the blackout. It happened in depression. It happens in wars. Unfortunately, this is one of the attractions of wars. And most people lead lives of quiet desperation. That's what the Rose said others not so quiet. And if whenever you're thrown out of your routine, you can realize how miserable you've been. And you can start, you know, reconstructing the world to a certain extent. Of course, the danger is always to fall back. That's why during the blackout, I wasn't here. But I understand people were very friendly. There was lower crime rate, and it was considered a great experience by many people. David Susskind 4:38 We take a question. Yes, ma'am. Audience Question 4:40 I'd like to know what happens to you when you go outside of the village or outside of macdougal street. You're preaching peace and nonviolent activities. But what kind of harrassment do you face on the part of say local authorities or police in New York or in Podunk or Ed Sanders 4:57 we we don't face very much harassment because like we're Our concern is not really to shock people we don't want to go up to somebody and just completely devastate their brain what we are presenting you know we do sing songs using language that has great strengths and force but we don't we're not instead of just like blitzing somebody so we have we have on a very measured and balanced program we put where we have elements of great social redemption and qualities of you know, really higher qualities and our shows if a person comes to our show only to hear a blip words then that he's the one is at fault. We're not Tuli Kupferberg 5:34 there also people all over the country by now. Ready for to hear what we're seeing. And there's a peak there as a group in between, we'll look around at the performances to see how everyone else is reacting. And if it's okay, they'll start to enjoy it. Audience Question 5:52 You're not bugged like someone like Leary might be or you know, by the police. Tuli Kupferberg 5:57 Well not yet. David Susskind 5:58 they love us sir. Do you have a question? Audience Question 6:01 Why don't you guys come right out and say what you're trying to do which as far as I can guess is to is to educate kids in small fry about about things that perhaps the best ought not know about things like barbiturates and LSD and and oddball sexual practices, that it's going to take a world what seems to be a whole brainwashing thing and hear from you isn't, isn't that really what you're after? Ed Sanders 6:29 And to brainwash people? You can't be you don't want to brainwash if you want to present people with logical alternatives to the behavior patterns. You know, you want to be able to you want to the The issue, of course, is freedom. We have the right to say what we're saying under any circumstance. But we have our primary concern is to say things that offer alternatives and offers actually what we're engaging in the bugs are engaging on block broad philosophical concern called the Zionist marijuana conspiracy, we, we want to we want to engage in spiritual exultation and this guy knows guy he's my Scoutmaster. David Susskind 7:09 Do you object to what they're doing? Because you think they're violating every convention that you hold sacred and important? Audience Question 7:17 I think they're not coming right out and saying what their intent is and I think I think their intent is a far reaching plan to get it the to get it the week still unformed minds of kiddies, Ed Sanders 7:30 well we just want everybody to live in a big polyethylene bag full of Vaseline. That's all we want, if everybody will do that, and well, Tuli Kupferberg 7:35 I think No, I've never denied that I'm a revolutionary I've been a revolutionary longer than I've been a fug because the society needs revolutionary changes. I'm also a pacifist so that makes it easy for me to get beat up quite so hard i don't think.

Mid, Korean storefronts STORYLINE: The Obama administration called for a peaceful and stable leadership transition in North Korea on Tuesday, after the death of the reclusive nation's leader Kim Jong Il. US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said the situation in the Korean peninsula was evolving and that United States is looking for better relations with the North Korean people. US officials have said Kim's passing will likely delay anticipated developments on resuming nuclear disarmament talks with the North and supplying the nation with food aid. "We both share a common interest in a peaceful and stable transition in North Korea as well as ensuring regional peace and stability," Clinton told reporters at the State Department after a meeting with Japanese Foreign Minister Koichiro Gemba. Gemba said the US and Japan "shared the recognition that it is important to make sure that the latest events would not negatively affect the peace and stability on the Korean peninsula." Analysts say Kim's death was unlikely to plunge the country into chaos because it already was preparing for a transition. Following the death of North Korean Leader Kim Jong Il, North Korean state media proclaimed his youngest son, Kim Jong Un, a "Great Successor." Mike Kulma from the Asia Society, said that not very much is understood about Kim Jong Un and his own plans for the country. "There is virtually, I think, nothing known about the kind of policies that he (Kim Jong Un) in particular is supportive of, outside of the fact that as the successor to his father that he would continue to carry on the policies that his father and his leadership structure has put into place." The White House said it was in constant contact with allies South Korea and Japan, but it offered no substantive comment on the implications of Kim's death. US President Barack Obama spoke with South Korean President Lee Myung-bak at midnight and the two leaders agreed to stay in close touch. At Radio Korea, Assistant News Director William Choo said emotions were running high after the death was announced. "They've been brainwashed for 30 or 40 years, they feel like they lost their great great father. They obviously that's what they feel right now," Choo said. But in time that could change, Choo said, especially in light of the fact that not much is known about Kim Jong Un. "He's been around for a year now. It's too short of time of be a leader so they worry about the situation or if the North Korean government is in danger of falling, there will be riots, like situations in Africa." Koreans in the United States have expressed their feelings regarding the death, but remained vigilant for any signs of a turbulent transition at home. In Palisades Park, New Jersey and Los Angeles' Koreatown, where there are large populations of ethnic Koreans, the mood was upbeat. "That's kind of a good thing for them and for us too, for everyone, basically I think, because Communism, what they're doing they are just a threat to the world," said resident Dae Hyun Yoon.

A government report of an unexpectedly strong rise in consumer prices in March only added to Wall Street's unease. Wall Street's best-known indicator closed down 616.23, or 5.6 percent, at 10,307.32, according to preliminary figures. That surpassed the previous record one-day drop of 554.26 points of Oct. 27, 1997, but was far from a record decline in percentage terms. The slide on Friday left the blue-chip index down 12 percent from its Jan. 14 record of 11,722.98. The Nasdaq composite index didn't fare any better, tumbling 356.74, or by 9.7 percent, to 3,320.04 at the close, according to early calculations, dropping deeper into bear- market territory. SOUNDBITE: (English) "Today is a historic day in the sense that you don't get many crash-type days. We haven't had one of severe magnitude since 1987, of this size. It's a historic day in the sense that you look for certain characteristics of a big drop in the market - illiquidity, stocks just dropping because there's no buyers, it doesn't occur very often." SUPER CAPTION: Barry Hyman, Market Analyst, Ehrenkrantz King Nussbaum Inc. The Nasdaq already had plunged or 17 percent in the first four days of this week, and with the latest decline, the technology-focused average was off 34 percent from its March 10 record of 5,048.62. A bear market is considered a sustained drop of more than 20 percent. Trading volume exceeded two billion shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market and surpassed 1 billion shares on the New York Stock Exchange. Analysts say the most fundamental reason for the drop in high-tech stocks is a growing sense that investors pushed those issues too far last year, when the Nasdaq rose an unprecedented 86 percent. The frenzy for technology stocks gave many young, unproven companies market values they did not yet deserve. But many market watchers were still optimistic that this is only a minor setback, and that technology stocks will continue to drive up world markets. SOUNDBITE: (English) "I think - I don't want to say brainwashing - but I think technology is driving the economy at this point in time, and people are confident that technology is just going to keep advancing, so - I think it's a good thing. I really do. I think we're the market leaders in the world for technology, and I'm betting that we'll be number one going forward." SUPER CAPTION: Ed Wachowicz (Voxpop) A government report on Friday morning of an unexpectedly strong rise in consumer prices in March added to Wall Street's unease. The figures rekindled worries that the Federal Reserve not only would raise interest rates again, but might be more aggressive in trying to cool down the economy. The Fed has raised rates five times since June, each time by a quarter-point in borrowing charges. This has prompted pessimists to warn against investors who are searching for bargains against buying into the market after Thursday's drop. SOUNDBITE: (English) "We heard the repetitive story of, you know, the market goes down, you have to buy. And I think it's irresponsible and it's dangerous. I mean, the investors have been kind of programmed with this mentality, yet we're sitting on an economic situation and a stock market certainly that's the most overvalued by any comparison." SUPER CAPTION: Mike Norman, Publisher "Economic Contrarian Update" newsletter Markets overseas also were broadly lower: Japan's Nikkei stock average fell about 0.5 percent before trading began on Wall Street. In Europe, where trading ended as Wall Street shares were tumbling, key indexes fell 2.8 percent in Britain, 3.2 percent in France and 3.1 percent in Germany.

Utah's code on concurrent vs. consecutive sentences limits consecutively-served prison sentences, which aren't allowed to exceed 30 years. Only two exceptions apply: If the convicted individual receives a life sentence or a death sentence, neither of which apply to the Franke-Hildebrandt case.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Both women gave statements ahead of their sentencing.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Prior to Franke's statement, the court received impact statements from her parents and brother, none of whom were able to attend in person.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Both the statements recounted how Franke was a different person after she sought out a therapist to help one of her children.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Franke found Jodi Hildebrandt and retained her services in 2020, according to Franke said in court. She ended up paying Hildebrandt to be her mentor.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Her parents' statement to Utah 5th District Judge John Walton said that was the year they all but lost their daughter.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>"We noticed a shift in Rubys thinking the summer of 2020 and by that fall she cut all ties to us, her siblings, and close friends," her parents wrote. "For three years what brief communications we had with her she accused us of either things that never happen or she grossly exaggerated the events that did. She was delusional. She was so deeply brainwashed we could not recognize her."</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>They said that following her arrest, Franke became the daughter they once knew again, and that "She expressed her gratitude for being incarcerated and felt the mighty wakeup call was a huge blessing."</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>"As her mother and father, we plead with you to show her as much mercy as you possibly can," wrote Chad and Jennifer Griffiths. "Hopefully in time she will have a relationship with her children and they will remember the mother she once was to them and will find it in their hearts to forgive her, this would be the greatest healing balm of all for them."</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>The Griffith's full statement to the court continues below.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Additionally, Franke's brother, Beau Griffiths, submitted a statement that sent a more pointed message: Jodi Hildebrandt was the catalyst.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>He recalled their childhood and the accolades Franke received from teachers, employers and authority figures in the years leading up to the creation of her hit family vlog on YouTube, "8 Passengers."</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>"During her career on YouTube, she often told me that her desire was to spread the message that 'mothers are important and that mothers have strength in nurturing their children,'" Beau Griffiths wrote. "I never had any concern for her and her children, and I was impressed with how generous and kind she has always been to my own children."</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>The two joined Hildebrandt's ConneXions Classrooms program, according to the statement, and Ruby "absorbed all that she was taught."</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>"Many of the teachings from the Connexions program were reasonable and good," the statement reads. "Unfortunately, as I later discovered, that is what made the program so dangerous."</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>"The program was by all definitions a cult," he added. "Ms. Hildebrandt was the sole source of what was right or wrong and discouraged people from making their own life choices. A recurring theme was the principle of separation and isolation, which the leader routinely prescribed."</p>\n<p>Beau Griffiths' full statement continues below.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>According to the statement, Hildebrandt wasn't attempting to heal relationships or help fix problems. She was apparently creating new problems to keep clients returning - and paying.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>He alleged Hildebrandt had her eye on the amount of influence she could have via the millions of followers Ruby had amassed.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>"In Ruby's case, I believe Ms. Hildebrandt wanted Ruby's platform and influence for her own gain," according to Beau Griffiths.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>"Ruby has clearly been brainwashed. She has been taken advantage of by Ms. Hildebrandt," he wrote. "Now, in the absence of Ms. Hildebrandt, I see Ruby striving to restore those relationships."</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>According to the statement, Hildebrandt wasn't attempting to heal relationships or help fix problems. She was apparently creating new problems to keep clients returning - and paying.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>He alleged Hildebrandt had her eye on the amount of influence she could have via the millions of followers Ruby had amassed.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>"In Ruby's case, I believe Ms. Hildebrandt wanted Ruby's platform and influence for her own gain," according to Beau Griffiths.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>"Ruby has clearly been brainwashed. She has been taken advantage of by Ms. Hildebrandt," he wrote. "Now, in the absence of Ms. Hildebrandt, I see Ruby striving to restore those relationships."</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Jodi Hildebrandt, also given the opportunity to speak before sentencing, offered up a much shorter statement that appeared not to have resonated with the court - or with her own attorney.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Her statement, in full:</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>I sincerely love these children I desire for them to heal physically and emotionally one of the reasons I did not go to trial is that I did not want them to emotionally relive the experience which would have been detrimental to them. my hope and prayer is that they will heal and move forward to have beautiful lives. I am willing to submit to what the state feels would be an appropriate amount of time served to make retribution as an outcome."</p>\n<p>Hildebrandt's attorney immediately followed by explaining why Hildebrandt had chosen not to provide a statement for a pre-sentence report, which the judge uses to help determine the sentence.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>"Your honor, I knew that whatever she might say to the author of the pre-sentence report would probably be sound hollow and self-serving," attorney Doug Terry said. "And perhaps it does today, but I know that my client - in the statement that she makes to the court today - that that statement is absolutely sincere."</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Walton questioned the validity of that claim.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>"Does Hildebrandt recognize that it's her behavior that caused the harm to the children that she's referred to in her statement?" he asked, with her attorney answering that she did.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Walton then spoke directly to Hildebrandt:</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>"This circumstance is tragic. It's largely, of course, of your making. By any measure, your conduct in this case was disastrous for these children. Adults are supposed to protect children. Adults with specialized training in particular are supposed to protect children. You didn't do that. In this case, you terrorize children and the results have been tragic. It's what happened to these children. And your philosophy in dealing with them, frankly ,seems detached from reality or any objective standard of decency or or even common sense."</p>\n<p>Walton handed down the four consecutive sentences, and Hildebrandt left the courtroom.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Still at hand, though, is the case of restitution the two women may owe, and how much. Hildebrandt was allowed to sell her multi-million dollar home in Ivins, Utah, but the judge ordered she not have the ability to touch the assets pending the court's decision.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>The state requested the issue be put on hold, and Walton set a deadline of eight months for the matter to be resolved.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Both Franke and Hildebrandt have 30 days to file an appeal.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Station Notes/Scripts:</p>\n<p>RUBY FRANKE AND JODI HILDEBRANT SHARED STATEMENTS.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>FRANKE SPOKE FOR ALMOST 10 MINUTES.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>HILDEBRANT WAS VISIBLY SHAKING - SHE SHARED TWO TO THREE SENTENCES.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>PKG:</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>THESE TWO WOMEN WHO HAVE GAINED WORLDWIDE ATTENTION FOR BEING GUILTY OF CHILD ABUSE BOTH SHARED STATEMENTS IN COURT -</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>FORMER UTAH YOUTUBBER RUBY FRANKE CRIED MULTIPLE TIMES EXPRESSING SHAME FOR ABUSING HER CHILDREN.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>(FRANKE SENTENCING)</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>10:11:01 my charges are just, they offer safety to my family.\"</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>HER ATTORNEY AFTEWARDS REINTERATES SHE ACCEPTS HER PRISON SENTENCE:</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>RUBY FRANKE ATTORNEY (JD 1802)</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>:11:02:33 We feel today that justice is served Ruby is committed to changing her way of thinking and acting during her time in prison.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>DURING JODI HILDEBRANDTS SENTENCING SHE SPOKE BRIEFLY SAYING SHE LOVES THESE CHILDREN.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>BUT THE JUDGE JOHN WALTON FELT:</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>(SCHNEE JUDGE SOUND) \"Ms. Hildebrandt the circumstance is tragic it's largely of your making by any measure your conduct was disastrous for these children. in this case you terrorized children and the results have been tragic.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>HILDEBRANDTS ATTORNEY STATING: </p>\n<p></p>\n<p>:11:06:50 she hopes for the physical and emotional healing of these children is absolutely sincere.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>BUTAFTERWARDS THE WASHINGTON COUNTY ATTORNEY ERIC CLARKE DESCRIBED THE CONDITIONS THE CHILDREN WERE IN </p>\n<p></p>\n<p>JD1801</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>:10:53:56 if thats not a concentration camp setting, I dont know what is.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>HE SAID HE WANTS HILDEBRANT TO SERVE A LONGER SENTENCE FRANKE.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>:10:57:04 She has done wrong and you cant use religion as a mean to justify your crazy behavior.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>JD1801</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>:10:55:50 Is this some of the worst child abuse youve seen in your career?</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>:10:55:52 Yes and not just in my career but in our offices career</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>LOOKLIVE TAG:</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>WE WONT KNOW FOR A FEW MONTHS - HOW LONG THESE TWO WOMEN WILL BE IN PRISON.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>BUT IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS - THEY'RE EXPECTED TO BE MOVED FROM WASHINGTON'S COUNTY'S JAIL - AND LIKLEY BE MOVED TO THE UTAH DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>AMANDA GILBERT KUTV 2 NEWS.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p><b>--SUPERS</b>--</p>\n<p></p>\n<p><b>--VIDEO SHOWS</b>--</p>\n<p></p>\n<p><b>--VO SCRIPT</b>--</p>\n<p></p>\n<p><b>--LEAD IN</b>--</p>\n<p></p>\n<p><b>--SOT</b>--</p>\n<p></p>\n<p><b>--TAG</b>--</p>\n<p></p>\n<p><b>--REPORTER PKG-AS FOLLOWS</b>--</p>\n<p></p>\n<p><b>-----END-----CNN.SCRIPT-----</b></p>\n<p></p>\n<p><b>--KEYWORD TAGS--</b></p>\n<p></p>

One of the men sat down and, they said, kept their hand on the table and their other hand in the bag, one of the bags. And the other man spent most of his time, according to this witness standing next to him and talking to him very fervently about something that they said they didn't overhear. But they said afterward they thought it was encouraging him, brainwashing up, coaxing him into blowing himself up. After they were there, they said maybe even 20, 25 minutes, the man in the yellow shirt put one of the bags over his shoulder, walked out of the restaurant and a restaurant employee said the man was seen getting into a taxi. A few minutes after that, they heard the blast at the bazaar a few hundred metres from there and people were just sort of taking that in when, according to them, the man who was sitting there blew up his bag."

APTN Baghdad, Iraq 9. Smoke rising STORYLINE Insurgents penetrated Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone and set off bombs at a market and a popular cafe on Thursday, killing five people, including four Americans, the US military said. A US military statement said the two bombs appeared to have been "hand carried" into the zone. And Iraqi national security adviser Qassem Dawoud said "initial information" indicated the attacks were a "suicide operation." If so, it would be the first time insurgents have successfully infiltrated and set off bombs in the Green Zone compound. The attack raised fears over security in the country and underscored militants' ability to strike in the capital even as US-Iraqi forces step up military operations to suppress them in other parts of the country. Iraq's most feared militant group, Jordanian terror mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's Tawhid and Jihad, purportedly claimed responsibility for the bombings, according to a statement posted on a Web site known for its Islamic content. APTN obtained footage of the attack's immediate aftermath that had been filmed from a mobile phone. The man who filmed the scene, who wishes to remain anonymous, described the events leading up to the blast. He said two men in the restaurant had been acting suspiciously before the attack. A US journalist who visited the scene shortly afterwards said witnesses told him two men had gone into the cafe. One of the men left in a taxi, and a blast was heard shortly afterwards, from the market, according to the journalist, Larry Kaplow of Cox newspapers. The man who had stayed in the cafe then blew himself up, he said. Other witnesses to the attack on the market said a man had got out of a taxi before detonating his device. In Washington DC, State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said security arrangements were put under immediate review but it was "much too early to start speculating" on whether they would be overhauled. He called the bombings "awful events" and condemned the attacks. Boucher said they were the work of terrorists but he did not have solid information on their identity.

State v. Cermak365 N.W.2d 243 (1985)STATE of Minnesota, Respondent, v. Alice CERMAK, Appellant.No. C5-83-543.Supreme Court of Minnesota.April 5, 1985.*244 C. Paul Jones, Public Defender, Michael F. Cromett, Asst. Public Defender, Minneapolis, for appellant.*245 Hubert H. Humphrey III, Atty. Gen., St. Paul, R. Kathleen Morris, Scott County Atty., Shakopee, for respondent.Considered and decided by the court en banc without oral argument.WAHL, Justice.Defendant was charged in Scott County with 18 counts of criminal sexual conduct. Ten of the charges were based on an incident that occurred in June of 1981 at a trailer rented by defendant's son, James, in Belle Plaine, and eight were based on similar incidents that occurred there in July of 1981. The state contended that in each incident defendant, along with her husband Stanley, her son James and his wife Beverly, and her son John and his wife Jillayne,[1] participated in the playing of a "game" in which each of the children present was sexually penetrated by one or more of the adults. The state alleged that five children were victimized in the June incident and four of these five in the July incident. Defendant was charged with one count of criminal sexual conduct in the first degree, Minn.Stat. § 609.342(a) (1982), and one count of criminal sexual conduct in the second degree, Minn.Stat. § 609.343(a) (1982), for each victim per incident, making a total of 18 counts. Subsection (a) of the two statutes is the subsection dealing with penetration (section 609.342) or contact (section 609.343) with a child under age 13 by a person more than 36 months older. Defendant was born in 1930 and was 51 years old; the children involved were three girls, ages 9, 8, and 6, and two boys, ages 5 and 3. Venue was changed to Alexandria in Douglas County. Defendant was found guilty of all eight charges involving the two older girls and was sentenced for the four more serious charges to four consecutive prison terms of 45 months, or a total of 180 months. She was found guilty only of the five lesser charges involving the other children, and for those was sentenced to five stayed terms of 21 months. On this appeal she contends that she is alternatively entitled to (1) an outright reversal of all convictions, (2) a new trial, or (3) a reduction in sentence. We affirm.1. Defendant's first contention is that the evidence was insufficient to support her convictions and that therefore they must be reversed outright. The two older girls, who were 11 and 9½ by the time of trial, testified against defendant, as did Beverly Cermak and Jillayne Cermak, both admitted participants in the crimes. The testimony of these witnesses established that the "game," to which we earlier alluded, was played frequently and consisted of one or more of the adults getting several of the children together and ordering the children to participate in various sex acts with the adults and with the other children. As part of the "game," the adults would photograph the children in sexually suggestive poses. Sometimes, they would photograph actual sex acts between adults and children. Some of these photographs were admitted in defendant's trial.Each of the four witnesses connected defendant to the playing of the "game." The younger of the two girls was unable to recall when the "game" was last played but testified that defendant did play the "game" on that occasion. Specifically, she recalled that defendant had digitally penetrated her rectum as well as that of the older girl. The older of the two girls testified that the "game" was last played in July of 1981 on the day that James and Beverly Cermak moved from their trailer. She testified that defendant participated in the game by digitally penetrating her and one or more of the other children present. *246 Beverly Cermak testified that the "game" was played at the trailer both in June and on July 16, which was moving day. She testified that defendant participated on both occasions and testified further that whenever the game was played each child was penetrated by one or more of the adult participants. She did not completely recall who did what in the June incident but recalled that defendant committed fellatio on one of the boys. She recalled that in the July incident defendant digitally penetrated the rectum of one or more of the girls. Jillayne Cermak testified that defendant participated in the "game" on both occasions charged in the complaint and that on each occasion each of the children present was sexually penetrated in some way by one or more of the adults present. She had a more specific recollection of who did what at the July incident, stating, among other things, that defendant digitally penetrated the two older girls, both vaginally and rectally, and that defendant also made the girls digitally penetrate her vagina.As a participant in the playing of the "game," defendant properly could be found guilty of aiding and abetting each act of penetration of or contact with each of the children. Minn.Stat. § 609.05 (1982). This being so, we conclude that the evidence was sufficient to support the convictions. In so concluding, we reject the contention that the testimony of the two girls and the two admitted accomplices was, as a matter of law, unworthy of belief.2. Defendant next contends that she was denied a fair trial by the prosecutor's excessive reliance on evidence showing the guilt of other family members and by the erroneous admission of what she characterizes as "prejudicial and irrelevant information."(a) Among the evidence which defendant contends pointed only to the guilt of other family members were pictures seized from James Cermak and John Cermak, defendant's sons. Over defense objection, the trial court admitted a representative selection of these pictures. The pictures show the children naked and in varying sexual poses; one of the pictures shows an adult's penis being inserted into the rectum of one of the children. Both Beverly Cermak and Jillayne Cermak were able to positively identify several of the children in the pictures, and the two girls identified themselves in two of the pictures. All four witnesses testified that taking the pictures was part of the "game" and both Beverly and Jillayne testified that defendant sometimes took the pictures herself.Defendant argues that the pictures were not relevant within the meaning of Minn.R. Evid. 401, which defines "relevant evidence" as "evidence having any tendency to make the existence of any fact that is of consequence to the determination of the action more probable or less probable than it would be without the evidence." She argues further that even if the pictures were relevant, they should have been excluded pursuant to Minn.R.Evid. 403, which provides that relevant evidence "may be excluded if its probative value is substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice, confusion of the issues, or misleading the jury, or by considerations of undue delay, waste of time, or needless presentation of cumulative evidence."We conclude that the pictures were relevant under the test of Rule 401 and were not otherwise excludable pursuant to Rule 403. It is true that the pictures were seized from James Cermak and John Cermak, not from defendant, that defendant does not appear in the pictures, and that the state could not establish the specific dates when the pictures were taken or that defendant was present when the pictures were taken. The state's evidence, however, indicated that defendant and the other adults, including James and John, conspired with each other to sexually abuse the children and that the conspiracy was ongoing. Under the circumstances, the pictures in question were clearly admissible against defendant even if she was not present when they were taken and even though she is not depicted in them and was not in possession of them when they were seized. State v. Walker, 306 Minn. 105, *247 235 N.W.2d 810 (1975). The significant facts are that defendant was a member of the conspiracy, that the conspiracy involved sexually abusing children by playing the "game," that the pictures were representative of pictures taken during the playing of the "game," and that defendant fully participated in the "game," including taking pictures on occasion. Some of the jurors may have been understandably reluctant to believe that parents and grandparents would abuse children in the ways described by the witnesses in their testimony. The pictures gave silent but compelling witness to the facts depicted and credence to the other testimony, thereby significantly strengthening the state's case against defendant. Balancing the relevance of the pictures against their potential for "unfair prejudice,"[2] the trial court properly exercised its discretion and admitted the pictures. State v. Molin, 288 N.W.2d 232 (Minn.1979) (brother of rape victim interrupted the rape and held defendant, with defendant's pants still down, while victim called police; we held on appeal that trial court properly refused to exclude, as unfairly prejudicial, the photograph police took of defendant, with his pants still down, when the police arrived on the scene); State v. Shotley, 305 Minn. 384, 233 N.W.2d 755 (1975) (prosecution of defendant for sodomy upon or with a child; we held that trial court properly refused to exclude evidence that police, in search of the defendant's apartment, found display of pictures depicting aberrant behavior like that of which defendant was accused).(b) Defendant similarly argues that the trial court erred in admitting a tube of "Anal-eze" which was found by police in James Cermak's car. The state's witnesses specifically testified that the adult participants in the "game," including defendant, often used "Anal-eze" as a sexual lubricant. Under the circumstances, the same reasoning that supports the admission of the photographs supports the admission of this evidence.(c) Defendant also contends that the prosecutor improperly elicited testimony by a police officer summarizing key elements of the investigation that led to the charging of defendant, including evidence that James, John, and Stanley Cermak had been investigated, charged, convicted (two after trial, one by plea), and sentenced on similar charges. Defendant contends that admission of this evidence, when the three men did not testify, constitutes reversible error.We agree that generally evidence of a plea of guilty, conviction or acquittal of an accomplice of the accused is not admissible to prove the guilt or lack of guilt of the accused. State v. Helenbolt, 334 N.W.2d 400 (Minn.1983); State v. Howard, 324 N.W.2d 216 (Minn.1982), cert. denied, 459 U.S. 1172, 103 S. Ct. 818, 74 L. Ed. 2d 1016 (1983). We also agree that a police officer testifying in a criminal case may not, under the guise of explaining how his investigation focused on defendant, relate hearsay statements of others. State v. Hardy, 354 N.W.2d 21 (Minn.1984).In this case, however, the evidence was clearly introduced in anticipation of defendant's argument that the charges against her were questionable because they were not filed for over 1 year after the arrest of James Cermak, the first of the defendants arrested. The officer's testimony established that the children did not reveal everything immediately, that James and John were charged and prosecuted first, then Beverly and Jillayne, then Stanley and defendant. Since defendant made an issue of the adequacy of the investigation and even contended that the children were "brainwashed" into falsely accusing her, it was permissible for the prosecutor to provide the jury with the additional detail. Significantly, there were no objections *248 to most of the evidence, and the prosecutor in closing argument cautioned the jury not to convict defendant because the other defendants had been convicted.(d) Defendant also contends that the trial court erred in admitting, over objection, testimony by Beverly Cermak that on her first date with James Cermak, James' father Stanley Cermak had anal and vaginal intercourse with her while James watched. The questions which elicited this evidence were part of a series of questions eliciting the sequence of events leading to Beverly's introduction to the aberrant sexual practices of the Cermak family. Defendant made a major effort to impeach Beverly's credibility, pointing out that she made a very favorable plea agreement in exchange for her testimony. Beverly's answers to the prosecutor's questions were extremely degrading to her and helped bolster her credibility as a witness on the theory that she would not reveal such things about herself unless they were true.(e) Defendant in her brief lists numerous instances of leading questions used by the prosecutor in direct examination of state's witnesses. We are satisfied that the prosecutor's use of leading questions did not have a significant effect on the trial. Defendant objected to only four of these questions, and the trial court sustained two of the objections. If defendant had objected to the others and the trial court had sustained the objections, the prosecutor presumably would have been able to elicit the same information by the use of nonleading questions.3. Defendant's final contention is that her sentence should be reduced. She advances two different theories in support of her contention.(a) First, she argues that the facts did not justify an upward departure from the Sentencing Guidelines and that, in any event, the sentence she received was "unjustifiably disparate" from the sentences imposed on Beverly and Jillayne Cermak.The presumptive sentence for the offense of criminal sexual conduct in the first degree (a severity level VIII offense) by a person with defendant's criminal history score (zero) is an executed term of 43 (41-45) months in prison. The 45-month term imposed by the trial court for each of the four convictions of criminal sexual conduct in the first degree is within the range of deviation permitted without the court having to give any justification. The court's use of consecutive sentencing was permissive with respect to two of the convictions (those involving different victims) and constituted a departure with respect to two of them (those involving the same victims but on different dates). Minnesota Sentencing Guidelines and Commentary II.F.06. (1984); State v. (James) Cermak, 350 N.W.2d 328 (Minn.1984); State v. Wellman, 341 N.W.2d 561 (Minn.1983). We hold that the two departures with respect to consecutive service were justified, for reasons stated in State v. (James) Cermak, 350 N.W.2d 328 (Minn.1984), and State v. (John) Cermak, 344 N.W.2d 833 (Minn.1984). We also hold that the sentence that defendant received was not "unjustifiably disparate" from the sentences that Beverly and Jillayne Cermak received as part of their plea bargain. State v. Vazquez, 330 N.W.2d 110 (Minn.1983).(b) Defendant's alternative argument is that she should have been prosecuted under the intrafamilial sexual abuse statute and therefore should have received only the maximum sentence she would have received if she had been convicted of one offense under that statute (two times the maximum presumptive sentence duration of 45 months). This argument is answered by our decision in State v. Love, 350 N.W.2d 359 (Minn.1984), where we held that the legislature's passage of the intrafamilial sexual abuse statute was not intended to limit the prosecutor's discretion to prosecute under the criminal sexual conduct statute.Affirmed.NOTES[1] James Cermak was convicted of multiple offenses after a jury trial and was sentenced to 480 months in prison [see State v.

STORYLINE Vigils were held in Arizona late on Saturday, hours after a gunman targeted Democratic representative Gabrielle Giffords as she met constituents outside a busy supermarket, wounding her and killing six others. The assassination attempt left the three-term congresswoman in critical condition after a bullet passed through her head. Among the dead were Arizona's chief federal judge, John Roll, a nine-year-old girl and one of Giffords' aides. US President Barack Obama called the attack "a tragedy for our entire country". More than 100 people attended a candlelight vigil outside the headquarters of Giffords in Tuscon, where authorities investigated a suspicious package that turned out to be non-explosive. A bomb squad worked for a couple of hours, using X-ray equipment, to try to figure out what the package was before a loud noise was heard. The noise was caused by authorities' efforts to destroy the package and render it safe. Also on Saturday, mourners in Phoenix attended a candlelight vigil outside the State House. Saturday's shooting targeted Giffords during a public gathering and the attempted assassination of a political figure left Americans questioning whether divisive politics had pushed the suspect over the edge. The 40-year-old politician is a moderate Democrat who narrowly won re-election in November against a conservative tea party-aligned candidate who sought to throw her from office over her support of the historic health care reform law. Anger over her position became violent at times, with her Tucson office vandalised after the House of Representatives passed the overhaul last March and someone showing up at a recent gathering with a weapon. Gifford, affectionately known as "Gabby", had tweeted shortly before the shooting, describing her "Congress on Your Corner" event: "My 1st Congress on Your Corner starts now. Please stop by to let me know what is on your mind or tweet me later." "It's not surprising that today Gabby was doing what she always does, listening to the hopes and concerns of her neighbours," Obama said as he commented on the shooting, adding: "That is the essence of what our democracy is about." Saturday's suspected shooter was in custody and was identified by people familiar with the investigation as 22-year-old Jared Loughner. US officials who provided his name to the AP spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to release it publicly. The reason for the assassination attempt was not immediately known, but Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik described the suspect as mentally unstable and possibly acting with an accomplice. The sheriff blamed the vitriolic political rhetoric that has consumed the country, much of it occurring in Arizona. A former classmate described Loughner as a marijuana smoking loner and the army said he tried to enlist in December 2008 but was rejected for reasons not disclosed. Federal law enforcement officials were poring over versions of a MySpace page that belonged to him and over a YouTube video published weeks ago under an account "Classitup10" and linked to him. The MySpace page, which was removed within minutes of the gunman being identified by officials, included a mysterious "Goodbye friends" message published hours before the shooting and exhorted his friends to "Please don't be mad at me". In one of several Youtube videos, which featured text against a dark background, Loughner described inventing a new US currency and complained about the illiteracy rate among people living in Giffords' congressional district in Arizona. "I know who's listening: Government Officials, and the People," Loughner wrote. "Nearly all the people, who don't know this accurate information of a new currency, aren't aware of mind control and brainwash methods. If I have my civil rights, then this message wouldn't have happen (sic)." The shooting cast a pall over Washington as politicians of all stripes denounced the attack as horrific. Capitol police asked members of Congress to be more vigilant about security in the wake of the shooting and Obama dispatched the chief of the Federal Bureau of Investigation to Arizona. The shooting comes amid a highly charged political environment that has seen several dangerous threats against lawmakers but nothing that reached the point of actual violence. Law enforcement officials said members of Congress reported 42 cases of threats or violence in the first three months of 2010, nearly three times the 15 cases reported during the same period a year earlier. Nearly all dealt with the health care bill and Giffords was among the targets.

13:11:38 "The enemy here did just the most horrible things you can imagine, in one case murdering a child, placing a booby trap
within the child's body and waiting for the parent to come recover the body of their child and exploding it to kill the parents; beheadings and so forth." 13:11:58 (0:00) / 00:00:00:00 13:11:50 they did awful things like killing children and used them as a bait to attract parents and then would kill them too
13:12:13 they were kidnapping the youth of the city and brain-washing them
13:12:29 i want to quickly suim
13:12:37 5/1 - they parted with a unit that was interrupting the enemy here 
13:12:51 began conducting a 

13:13:07 "And we had stand-up, conventional fights against the enemy in this dense, urban terrain, where up to 200 of the enemy were attacking our troopers as they conducted operations in this urban area. And the result of those operations were that Iraqi security forces and our forces killed large numbers of the enemy in those engagements -- 30 to 40 of the enemy at a time." 13:13:26 (0:00) / 00:00:00:00 13:20:02 "They did everything they could to blend in with the civilians who were evacuating from this dense urban
area to protect them. And we caught -- we were integrated with the population. The people were pointing out who the enemy was. We had Iraqi army who was very good at sensing something isn't quite right when this man is walking down the street with children and the children looked very nervous." 13:20:23

13:12:58 the enemy noticed we were challenging their base, so they started attacking our troops
13:13:16 the result of these attacks is that the iraqi forces killed alot of the enemy with our troops, 
13:13:36 they went back to more harrasement attackes
13:13:54 we were able to gain access to ... very forth coming, one raid in the middle of june, we were able ot (0:00) / 00:00:00:00 13:14:15 the enemy began to realize that they cannot hide anymore. continuouis interaction with them is the intensify their intimidation
13:14:36 increased their sniper attacks and 
13:14:49 we were prepareing to destroy their safe haven to the
13:15:04 as we isolated the city, 
13:15:22 the enemy went into the outlining communities, so we went into those out linubg areas
13:15:44 about a 116 was an iraqi army exclusive operation, the police are done training.
13:16:13 captured more of the enemy, they resolved then to abandon 
13:16:30 we cannot afford to lose talafar, 
13:16:38 so the enemy then as we continued to concentrate our offense on talafar
13:16:54 gained a tremendous amount of 
13:17:01 brought in a team of iraqi forces
13:17:12 they wanted to take the fgith into outling areas, tried some diplomatic attempts
13:17:41 center of the enemies save haven then
13:17:49 surrouding those positions, we had homes that were rigged, 
13:18:13 we pentetrated that defense, with our tanks and destroyed their leadership thoughtoiut the city (0:00) / 00:00:00:00 13:18:45 we are being slaughtered here, 
13:18:58 the main engagement had 9/2 and 9/6 - we captuired as mnay as xxx member fo the enemy
13:19:22 complex defense there....borders intergrated into this
13:19:39 really collapse it within the inside, and potentially saw them running away
13:20:04 did everything they triedn to blend them with 
13:20:38 we became integreated into the communtiy13:20:47 we captured men dressed up as women attempting 

13:21:05 close integration with the iraqi army, and community, achieved a very high degree in our efforts

13:21:23 These iraqi soldiers are brave and they are courageous, they are building capabilities everyday and we are gaining strenght from their example, the troops are very committed to this mission, they are doing it as a great risk to themselves, the ruthless of this enemy, they are doing this at a great risk to their families. 13:21:43 (0:00) / 00:00:00:00 13:21:47 we have achieved and unpresedented, the police, the mayor and the people
13:22:01 the peopel are sick and tired of these people, and are glad to rid them of this enemy
13:22:24 the american soldier, i cannot tell you how proud i am of this regiment, they are toiugh, they are disciplined, 
13:23:22 it is very clear to our soldiers as , as we see the extremist literature, it is very clear to us that 
13:23:46 so i'd like to end with that (0:00) / 00:00:00:00 13:24:44 Nothing's rosy in iraq, I don't want to give you an unrealistic picture, what I tried to describe a continuous interaction with the enemy since we got here but an interaction that has been in our favour, we have maintained the enemy. 13:25:00 Is talafar secure? no it's not secure, is the enemy on the run? yes the enemy is on the run. 13:25:06

13:25:16 the standard for success is that the enemy cannot wage a campaign of terror over the population
13:25:44 one of the main local grievances, there are virtually no policemen, the reason is, if they joined they would be murdered
13:26:14 we are going to introduce them into the city,with the back up of iraqi soldiers and coalition forces
13:26:36 to ensure perm security for the iraqi people

13:26:57 turkeman kids, beautiful dresses, suffered alot, (0:00) / 00:00:00:00 do you have enough US troops in this part of iraq?
13:27:42 what gives us enoiught capability, we have the iraqi security forces, that is the greatest danger for them
13:28:02 we tend to give them too much credit, the key thing is that we need to constitute this area which suffered from a focused attack last fall.
13:28:29 we have a capable iraqi forces formation to protect them, they aren't here to do it on their own
13:28:50 they can over match them, some more experienced and effective leadership, hasn't existed,
13:29:15 we just graduated another 54 iraqi soldiers, we just started an officers class
13:29:50 i think what our iraqi brothers need to know is that we are going to stand by them
13:30:18 all the relationships are extraordinarily positive, we learn from them as they learn from us.
13:30:37 they bring us a tremedous infintary capabiliyt
13:30:50 is there enought force now, no, are there opport for the enemy to attack? yes but we are focused everyday to keep them on teh run
13:31:20 until we can establish a sense of stability..." (0:00) /
