You're right.

Husband: We made a mistake, okay.

But it is a very serious mistake No, I don't blame, I don't blame...

Husband: Everybody makes mistakes.

I don't put the blame no one, I mean, but pictures like this affected me very much.

Husband: They show it five, six times, over and over all the same thing.

But I know those mothers' heart, how they felt seeing this--that Islam.

So then you're leaving when?

If everything will go our way, we leave Wednesday morning unless we...

Husband: ???

...for some unknown reason we have to prolong. We're driving, so uh, but we have to...

Husband: Be out here Wednesday.

...give the key to be out here Wednesday morning.

Well, I...I'd sure hate to miss the opportunity to talk to you.

How long does it take to uh, record this and have it taped--I mean, I mean not the tape we have right now but, uh...

Oh, I can record it in about ten minutes.
