Crimes should remain buried.

Anyone that blows the whistle on crimes being committed are the only true criminals, the rest are modern day heroes that should be protected at all costs, like the honorable Oliver North (a fine figure of a man I must say!).

Funny I don't remember saying any of that.

Or was that not directed at me?
