Miscellaneous additional Garner quote:

Garner said the U.S. planners failed to foresee probably the most significant development in postwar Baghdad _ the rampage of looting and arson that has devastated government buildings and some shops and homes.

"We didn't anticipate the looting that occurred to the degree it did," Garner said.

NOTE this should be the final pool report of the evening from the AP.
