Special Report Transcript Episode 71, Section 3, Time 24:53

The Truth Commission has made it clear that it will never consider blanket amnesty for political crimes, but in the seven months that now remain for the Commission to finish its work the Amnesty Committee will have to process more than 1600 applications in hearings alone. From January the Committee is to be enlarged to six panels that will sit at the same time. But given its record up to now this maybe too little too late. Amnesty hearings in the year 2000 may not be such a far fetched idea. It’s time now to pour a quick cup of tea, but make sure to come back quickly. After the break we look at the other side of the Truth Commission process and ask, what is in it for the victims? And we tell you a fascinating spy story.
