I was very disappointed to hear the comments of the Chief of Staff. We don't do this all the time, OK? We don't use the power and prestige of America to beat on people for political purposes.

No, that's where the rub comes in. The rub comes in that we have professional diplomats trying to do their job to root out corruption, and then we have Giuliani parachuting in, talking about corruption but maybe representing his customers.

The working group of Central American leaders... identified corruption as one of the core problems facing the region.

Today, I support this resolution in calling on Daniel Ortega to cease all attacks on the Nicaraguan people, release all political prisoners, and set the conditions for free and fair elections.
