until you determine for yourselves which version sounds the most true.re are certain points i must prove to you. point number one: andrew beckett was... is... a brilliant lawyer, a great lawyer. point number two: andrew beckett, afflicted with a debilitating disease, made the understandable, the personal, the legal choice to keep the fact of his illness to himself. point number three: his employers discovered his illness. and, ladies and gentlemen, the illness i'm referring to is aids. point number four: they panicked ! and in their panic, they did what most of us would like to do with aids, which is just get it and everybody who has it... as far away from the rest of us as possible. now, the behavior of andrew beckett's employers may seem reasonable to you. does to me. after all, aids is a deadly, incurable disease. but no matter how you come to judge charles wheeler and his partners... in ethical, moral and human terms, the fact of the matter is... when they fired andrew beckett because he had aids, they broke the law. fact: andrew beckett's performanc

read for yourselves the verdict reached by our intelligence community about the chemical weapons attack, the assad regime inflicted on the opposition and on neighborhoods in the damascus suburbs on the early morning of august 21. our intelligence community has carefully reviewed and rewritten you to information regarding this attack. and i will tell you it has done so more than mindful of the iraq experience. we will not repeat that moment. we have taken unprecedented steps to declassify and make facts available to people who can judge for themselves. but still, in order to protect sources and methods, some of what we know will only be released to members of congress, the representatives of the american people. that means some things we do know we can't talk about publicly. so what do we know we can talk about? well, we know the assad regime has the largest chemical weapons program in the entire middle east. we know that the regime has used those weapons multiple times this year. and has used them on a smaller scale, but used them against its own people, including not very far from when
