I would submit that the most meaningful first step that our President could take toward preserving international justice would be to use the considerable power of his good offices to persuade over 90 individuals who have either taken the Fifth Amendment or fled the country to testify and cooperate fully and/or to return to these shores so that they might be questioned. Again, the people of the Sixth district of Arizona who have contacted me on this issue say, hey, listen, where there is smoke there is fire, or at least you should check these things out; respectfully request that if, in fact, there is nothing to these stories, and indeed we all share the notion of a presumption of innocence until guilt is proven, why then is there such stonewalling? Why then is there such a reluctance to have at the truth? Why then are we subjected to the cavalcade of personal attacks based on whomever may level an accusation or make a charge at that particular moment within the press corps?
