My understanding after this story broke and with my inquiries, and that's we're trying to get Ben up from Rome in the second hour, is was there any, to your knowledge, was there anything transmitted to the church through official channels to tell them?

Because this is unprecedented for hundreds of years since the Ottomans controlled Jerusalem.

Was anything communicated through official channels to the church that this might happen, sir, to your knowledge?

Not that I know of.

In fact, the cardinal in his statement even said that he has been adhering to every request and security stricture.

He was not going with some grand procession even.

He was going privately with another clergy to the church to say mass on Palm Sunday and barred.

So...

If you give a gun a badge, you get a bigger one.

And perhaps that's the case of some security apparatchik in Jerusalem that doesn't care that it's a cardinal, has no respect for Christendom.

This is a really, really bad look for Christianity.

Look, it starts to take away any understanding about, or I guess it adds to the understanding of even Muslims that are angry at their access to Al-Aqsa Mosque.

And again, a completely unforced stupid error by Israeli security forces today.

Eric, go on.

Your bullet point number two?

Bullet point two, Steve.

We live in a world of transparent battlefields.

If you get within 30, 40 kilometers of the front line in Ukraine, you're completely at risk because of the amount of surveillance and drones sensors.

The idea that you're going to hide a amphibious ready group, or MEU, with...

An LHA, that's probably an eight or 900 foot ship, weighs 40 or 50,000 tons.
