Sir, at 1 1 :58 this morning,
I received a letter...
:09:03
stating a group of inmates were
planning on taking you hostage at 1 2:1 0.
:09:08
I thought it prudent to act immediately
to ensure your safety.
:09:11
I've been hearing some disturbing
things about what goes on in here.
:09:14
And now I'm hearing it from a man
I trust and whose opinion I respect.
:09:17
- May I speak freely, sir?
- Yes, you may.
:09:20
With all due respect, General,
:09:22
I don't know what
you may have been hearing.
:09:24
But until you've spent some time
in the yard with those animals,
:09:27
you have no idea
what happens in there.
:09:30
Point taken, Colonel.
:09:33
Nevertheless, if I hear...
:09:35
one more story about a man dying
under your command,
you are through here.
:09:39
- Do you understand me?
- Yes, sir.
:09:45
All right.
:09:48
As far as Gene Irwin is concerned, it is
my judgment he is as sane as you or I.
:09:51
I wish he wasn't. He is.
:09:54
Frankly, I'd like nothing more than
an excuse to get him out of here.
:09:58
But I see the only way that's
gonna happen is if you request it.
:10:02
That is true, sir.
:10:05
So you just-- You tell me
you can't handle him. He's gone.
:10:11
Oh, I think
I can handle him, sir.
:10:15
You watch yourself, Colonel.
:10:22
Eugene R. Irwin,
:10:27
Lieutenant General,
United States Army,
:10:30
in direct contravention of
an order to evacuate Burundi...
:10:33
by his commander-in-chief--
:10:36
That is the president,
for those of you who do not know.
:10:40
...selected a platoon of men to
extractJackson Ngwe, a local warlord.
:10:45
Disregarding reliable intelligence,
:10:49
General Irwin's reconnaissance team
entered the ville at 0300.
:10:53
Eight men were captured
and executed.
:10:57
Disregarding...
