Leadership that will take us out of the shadows and into the light again!
From the transcript of his participation in C.A.P. -- America in the World Conference http://securingamerica.com/ccn/node/12631

"And I just want to underscore what Brzezinski said, and I want to take one step
further. We’re not going to regain our moral authority until we actually look at the past.
This is very hard for people to say, especially in an election year, because everyone likes
to say let’s just focus on the future, but the truth is that some monumental mistakes were
made and I believe – I come from an institution, I grew up being taught that
accountability for mistakes was an essential part of leadership. There needs to be some
accountability for the mistakes that are present at Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib, and I’m
not talking about a couple of soldiers being court-martialed for improper behavior. This
goes to the very top of organizations in the executive branch, and you know precisely
which organizations I’m talking about, and you know precisely who and whose memos
should be examined. And I believe that we’re not going to clear the books and really
regain our authority until we’ve opened the books and looked at them."
(Applause.)......Wes Clark

:applause:


ACCOUNTABILITY IN THE EYES OF THE WHOLE WORLD.........That's where it starts!

IMPEACH----------> Hague


:patriot: Please run General!
