Reply #39: I'm not sure what the statute of limitations is on this

[Time for change]

I believe that it must be at least 7 years or so.

I can't see how a commission could take anywhere near that long to complete its work. There is such an abundance of evidence that it shouldn't take that long. It's not a matter of having to collect evidence -- it's already there. And anyhow, there is no reason why prosecutions shouldn't take place concommitantly with the work of a truth commission. There is no reason why a truth commission needs to slow down the business of prosecuting these criminals. I'm not saying that prosecutions WILL take place at the same time. I'm just saying that there is no reason why they can't. For those who support a truth commission, we should at the same time make clear that it would not be acceptable to us if they interfered with prosecutions in any way.
