Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you, Chair. Professor Stanley, I'm a graduate of Rutgers. I'm sorry you downgraded to Yale.

Foreign Affairs committee  In your opening comments you said that “You can't have liberty without truth” and that “political equality is speaking truth to power.” Professor Stanley, I would suggest that you look into the recent happenings here in Canada in regard to the SNC-Lavalin scam, as well as the unf

Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Ignatieff. I've never met you, but I have read your book, Fire and Ashes. Two stories really stood out for me.
