P.S. I talk once in a while to expats who work with the TRC, and they all reluctantly admit that there seems to be little public support for it in Liberia. We in the international community are all for the TRC idea, and many consultants and lawyers are shipped over to make it happen, but Liberians themselves aren't real enthusiastic, as far as I can tell.

OK, so can them and use the bucks for something useful. I'd think the people on the ground might have a better sense than folks abroad of whether or not TRC proceedings might restart conflicts. Does the central government have sturdy enough control to be able to try a warlord crony? With so many of them in the legislature?
