But Donald Woods, talk to me what you feel so far, perception wise has it been one sided. What is your feeling about this? // I’ve had the impression of it being pretty fair, but you know they were in a no win situation in the sense that when you undertake something which is really a very courageous experiment you’re not going to come out with universal approval anyway and given that I think they’ve done a terrific job because quite apart from whether or not there’s been enough ventilation - of course there hasn’t been, I think that would be impossible to achieve. I think what we must remember is the educational value of this process. A lot of people, and I know from their comments who didn’t really believe the security police were that bad, now are horrified at these stories coming out and of course a lot of people who knew they were bad are glad to see that these truths are coming out. So I think we mustn’t neglect the educational side of the Truth Commission.
