Bill Clinton: “It is time for the Justice Department to do the right thing. It is time to stop the delay and stop hiding behind…”

On the recordSeptember 14, 2004
It is time for the Justice Department to do the right thing. It is time to stop the delay and stop hiding behind legalisms and technicalities. The Government should work with the survivors to pay fair, timely and long overdue restitution. As my colleagues and I wrote in May, for these survivors, justice delayed is justice denied.
