In this case, I say Bravo to the President let's do it. But myself, as head of the Commission on Human Rights in the Senate, I have an obligation to my colleagues and to the Haitian people, and victims, to ensure that justice is done [...] it is not an attack against the President or the Minister of Justice, far from it [...] I just want to make sure that this decision is a conscious decision and there is no error in the decision..."
