I was reading the Zim Daily, an internet newspaper from Zimbabwe, when I stumbled across a quote from Michael Ignatieff:
"As Ignatieff writes 'justice itself is not a problematic objective, but whether the attainment of justice always contributes to reconciliation is anything but evident'. Indeed a retributive penal system has shown it has no deterrent effect on would be violators."
The article argued against a Truth Commission for Zimbabwe. It was quite well put -- and Ignatieff's quotation was perfect.
