Wednesday 5th May, Admiral Edmund Giambastiani, Commander of US Joint Forces Command with Tim Sebastian

Admiral Edmund Giambastiani is responsible for sending US forces to Iraq. He decides how many people will be dispatched and where they will be deployed.Now that major combat operations in Iraq are over, what is his reaction to the situation in which American troops find themselves in Falluja? And how much damage have the allegations of abuse of Iraqi prisoners by US officers in Abu Ghraib prison done to the army’s reputation? Admiral Giambastiani talks to Tim Sebastian.

Watching now....once again he hasn't read any of the reports, becasue he's not in the chain of command.
