Well, apparently there was an American role. The details have not been forthcoming because what actually happened has been covered up with a series of misrepresentations that are clearly not accurate, and that is a challenge that remains for us to uncover. That is our job as legislators. And I think that the gentlewoman's fierce determination to get to the bottom of this will lead this country, this Congress, to an honest evaluation of what has gone down.
