I call to order this 12th hearing of the Subcommittee on International Human Rights of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development on December 1st, 2011.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we are studying the situation in Camp Ashraf in Iraq.
We have before us as witness today Michael Mukasey. I can truly say in this case there is no need for an introduction, and given that we are already running behind, I won't offer one.
It is a great honour to have you here, sir. We appreciate the fact you're able to take time out of what must be a very busy schedule. I'll simply turn things over to you to give us your thoughts. Afterwards we'll begin a round of questions.
