Wow--these questions and answers were really fascinating to read. I appreciate Rajiv's responses very much. I couldn't help noticing that many of the questions _seemed_ to be trying to find a silver lining to this story, while also acknowledging the difficult realities of Renee Bach's actions. I identify with this as well, having been in situation overseas that now, looking back, make me feel uncomfortable at best, guilty at worst. So I also hope for some vindication, some sense that maybe I judged my younger self unfairly; but the fact is, because children died and families were actually harmed in Jinja, the stakes are simply higher. Though I haven't been able to follow this thread as much as I would have liked, I appreciate the introduction to such a complex and important story.
