Chairperson, yes I got to the point where I felt that we acted lawfully during this entire operation, but I'm concerned, or I became concerned when I heard that investigation was being done into this incident and that there was mention of a criminal investigation. That made me very worried.
	Did something happen - I wasn't really aware of what the Amnesty Act provided and I've heard from all sides, for instance, as Bishop Tutu said, that people if they weren't quite sure whether they were vulnerable, that they should actually apply for amnesty, and we live in uncertain times and things change from day to day.  I don't know whether perhaps in future, new acts could be placed on the statute books, or acts could be amended which would perhaps render my involvement in these incidents a crime and that I would then be called to account for something which I really believed was my task. And that in brief was my motivation for the amnesty application.
