My concern with the Truth Commission or any organization sponsered by the government, is a agency that acts in secret to bring to justice those who have committed wrongs. Further when this agency only reports to one person and is created with political agenda in mind, where said crimes can take on a political and/or ideological slant, the slope becomes real slippery at that point.
I don't even have to Deconstruct the word truth and all the problems of using such a divisive and ideological word for a title of a political agency; let alone the implications of such a group digging up dirt on opposing politicians and political parties with the intent of prosecution. The Fool if you can't even at the most basic level see how that can be misused and yes turned into a Facist form of control, well then you should perhaps begin to question your own intelligence before looking at others.
