This message is intended as a reply to both posts made after my initial posting here. I'm sorry for not addressing each personally, but I write quite a bit every day, and am loath to write two posts when one will suffice.

A desire for accuracy in the public record has never been evidence of guilt. I do not believe I did the right thing. There was no such concept there.

I understand much better how how we have come to judge some (but by no means all) figures that history holds in contempt for exigent actions where, like here, there was no "right" choice - only the least evil, and the necessary.

Your questions suggest to me that you haven't read my writing on the matter, or some of the statements I've given, I'd be happy to provide them.

I regret it if that seems impersonal, but I'm already being far more personal than most people in my position would be, and I'm very hesitant to retell the same story I've been telling for two years if it can possibly be avoided.

However, if we are to continue this line of discussion, there is an item of reading I would like for you to consider. It's not long, and it's not mandatory, but I believe it to be as helpful as anything that I could say: https://bit.ly/xSf9oZ

Thank you for reading. I hope this message finds you well.

Cheers,
