  Many will remain in that state Jan, besmirched, while the openness remains lest than entire.
  I think though, that if we the public were to insist upon, or go along with, any let-up of the pressure to have the past culture of child abuse exposed and cleansed we would all be unnecessarily compromised.
  From the arrest of and prosecution of Oliver Twist on a charge of theft - and the consequent doubts as to his true character, on up to the withdrawal of PCC candidates from the recent election for their recorded culpability for childhood misdemeanors, there can be many a good soul caught together with true criminals. If such semi-innocents are to find redemption in the eyes of the public they must throw themselves upon the mercy of that same public.
  We all shall have to be grown-up about this, the news media - dead-tree and internet - will have to be responsible too, in how they go about their work.
  I repeat...
  It is going to take a truth and reconciliation committee at this rate, after quite a few have been sent down.
