terrible feelings related they were because i think the map commitments then it began to allow them as a lot of agreements with of the penitentiaries ladies you know in the house probably ten years
i have no idea but i think that is the power that the adventure is the village's neighbors though many prisons for wealthier than it emits i think probably what broke the stalemate is time when we first started the negotiations will start for that i think pretty well it was really difficult to be rational about it so i think that over the evening the war on as early as with lots of national basis tunnel people from that to some discussions on the work that have the y get shot it was the hostages were released we assured them of that and but it was kind of difficult because there were so many entities here that just is a
big helicopter flew over the country and these guys also break into the inner potential saying that we have to make their payment so was demented about an hour ago you're our winner and what i meant i would imagine that they would that that they become a little disagreement was insecure but like i tell you i was in there which is about is a water drop the oval cylinder an adult and then forty five minutes and only succeeded in killing approximately maybe a hundred feet because
these are lost their clothes torn into the walls and having a difficult time it would right now they're trying to reach certain portion of the potential are having a difficult time getting their general not all the tarp none that i'm all except maybe that was unreasonable force and in some you know individuals are resisting a little bit cleaned up what we will happen to it because that's eleven been sloppy in fact prevented they're there when we went down there that when i was walking with a scalpel bottom of the seven sixty seven prisoner while i don't think it is i think that all the leaders seated at the end or none at all but no more than that i don't know
why you were gods of this i imagine that pretty years ago right now islam a concern because it allows more dollar and it's probably been a few days because the smoke inhalation that we can do whatever we give the prisoners a blowtorch is a big upset over a novels the doors they couldn't do it just after that we finally negotiated be permitted to fire firemen to go into not the fire smoke this indoors so there may be some insulation that's in there it's probably about i won't really get a true can't until tomorrow with this very difficult going through their stark there's no electricity and it's still a very difficult circumstance or coarser bodies being conscious is you don't know what the situation is in the american press nominate i know while there was a need it was sure about what we were we negotiate or deal with the prisoners that were trying to get to the book torture and without a digital convince some of the leaders that innovation given that is given to
try to save some lives no idea while i was in japan firing them and i want police legislature would investigate some of the problems the security there and just as importantly some of the grievances that the inmates had and some instances the song legitimate on the discussions that we have the worst and then you know and so i think the legislature should look into somebody that as a state senator do you think anybody should be fired over this law or anyone in mind that you know was a matter of neglect many communities
that's because it's bad this morning people of course they were committed anything else you're right
secretary designate on the same hand when i live discussing the matter of one of the prisoners and this question was laughing hospitals secretary says the regional and respected that says here the day and last night i would say very much so because of that we give our words those individuals and families living up to meet right now panel this point and he's sitting in an office talking to see what is in that initial and
power he can say you know i think it is but it has been now right right
