1. 'Task Force Freedom' -- that's a new one

I bet 'Task Force Pillage' wasn't even in the running

2. I was going to say that I had not heard "Task Force Freedom"

4. It used to be called "Task Force Law and Order"

until Bremer realized, shortly before receiving his presidential citation, that "law and order" stretched credulity even beyond that of "freedom."
