I mean, he was just viewing it and it was, you know, essentially they were his peers. You say to him that he's not a pedophile. I don't know how you know that. I don't know why that's relevant to the guidelines. But maybe it is. You say he's not a pedophile. You say that you're very sorry for him. And what he suffered. And then you give him three months when, frankly, a liberal prosecutor is asking for two full years.

And we had the Arabs standing by our side saying, 'We want you to help us deal with Gadhafi.'.

That's what the judge saw. It's what the government saw. We've been saying this from the beginning. That's why the guidelines were as low as they were.

5. Aristotle:

   Paraphrased for brevity: Those who think a HERILE government is the same as a regal government or that of a large family or of a city are mistaken.
