Well, I think it's generally accepted that it was getting close to here, the Ottawa city limits. It was no longer looking at Somalia. It was looking at what happened in some of the buildings around here and over there, and therefore it was shut down. It had gone on for a long time, no doubt about it. But what was frustrating for me... I was even included in a setup when I was a witness. I started to talk about General Johnston, saying “best force there”. General Zinni, who was world famous then, was saying the same thing about the Canadians. I was stopped—and I had been warned I would be—and they said, “General MacKenzie, that will be permitted in phase four of the Somalia inquiry, when we get to the good news at the end.” We never got to the good news.
