And now the question to my good friend from New York: These new issues that are coming out almost on a weekly basis, do we know that these questions that are called unanswered are in the purview of the special prosecutor? In other words, does he have a rolling authority that moves to the next question to the next question to the next question, or is there a box that he is operating in, and that we must seize upon these issues coming from around the world? Where is the line of demarcation for the special prosecutor?
