Adam Ereli Attack Quotations

I would characterize it as something that we wish were not taking place, but see it in the context of ongoing attacks and failure to address the security problem.

We condemn attacks against innocent civilians. We express our sympathies with those wounded and the families of those killed.

What we're seeing here is an attempt to subvert justice, an attempt to subvert the rule of law by those that are bent on attacking honorable citizens of Iraq who are trying to see that justice is done, whether it be on the prosecution side or on the defense side.

There was a security consideration. If they can take over and they can move to intercept and otherwise disrupt those who are bent on attacking the transfer of sovereignty, then that's one more blow against the terrorists.

I have heard discussed indications that when compared against previous election periods, the targeting and attacks against participants and elements connected to the election is not as high.

We will do all that we can, working with the Pakistani government, to see that those responsible for this attack face justice.
