Look who! The clear South African conscience of Mr. De Klerk
AP report. Here: http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/S/SOUTH_AFRICA_APARTHEID?SITE=INKEN&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT

"F.W. De Klerk, South Africa's last white president and a Nobel Peace Prize winner, insisted Thursday that he knew nothing about any atrocities committed during his leadership."

Not even rumors? Ok, believed.

"The former leader warned prosecutors against starting a "witch hunt" against former white government officials."

A "witch hunt?" In this case I admit to believing in witches.

"'Let us look at the future', de Klerk told a news conference."

Let's do it, Mr De Klerk. In Naples, Italy, there's a song saying "Let's forget the past" and be friends again ("Scurdammece 'o passato, simme 'e Napule paisà").

"More than 21,000 victims gave evidence to the commission during an emotional two-year examination of the apartheid era's slayings and torture."

Which are far more important to me than whatever you may say, do, imagine, suppose, grant, assure, Mr De Klerk.
But thanks for contributing to putting an end to Apartheid and to setting Mandela free.
So kind of you, white minority.
