...But of these sophisms and elenchs of merchandise I skill not...
Milton, Areopagitica

Except he had found the
standing sea-rock that even this last
Temptation breaks on; quieter than death but lovelier; peace
that quiets the desire even of praising it.

5.5.03

Q: General Myers, can you clear up something that you said about -- last -- earlier in the week about the cluster bombs? There was an incident in which a young girl, apparently -- there was some kind of munition. Have you any clarity on that?

Myers: Yeah, I do. The information that I had at the time indicated, the first report, that it -- that this little girl had actually intended to harm U.S. soldiers. In fact, I think, as we went back, it was as was stated, I think, by somebody in the back of the room, that she was trying to return -- and it wasn't a cluster bomb, but it was return some sort of munition, and it went off.

Q: Was that the one incident that you referenced earlier when you talked about the cluster bombs?

Myers: No.
