Credibility and accountability and will tip to do so. Do you have another question. Im going to make a quick note on that. And see if dan agrees. Afghanistan is going from a fairly corrupt patronage system to a system which will be professional, transparent and noncorrupt. That is a long hard road to travel. And if president ghani moves too fast he will break his politics. And he will cause so many groups to be disgruntled with him and organize against him.

And with our mission, where we are tasked with anyone and everyone who is convicted and turned over to the department of justice and placed in the care of the bureau of prisons, we have a job to do, a significant job.
