Hindsight has perfect vision.
There are certain things that attract my attention and my reaction is "what on earth is going on here" with some rhetoric reflections.
When the former US Attorney General said "Mistakes were made." The phrase is a political construction that my interpretation is, and should be called the "past exonerative" tense.
Its origin as a political mea culpa — or non-mea culpa — goes at least as far back as President Ronald Reagan's 1987 State of the Union address, in the midst of the Iran-Contra scandal.
What were they thinking?
The Cuban Light Bulb scandal in Jamaica also comes to mind. Let me clarify that Kern and the other accused are innocent until proven guilty. Here are some questions to ponder.
Were there other participants in this "feeding frenzy"?
Would Kern, in court, outline the other participants, knowing that if he does, he is going to be killed?
Is he being a scapegoat in this affair?
As a bright, intelligent young man, did he knowingly bypass the rules and the law, or was he given the authority to circumvent all the procedures?
Management 101 will tell you that persons IC (in charge) must be held accountable for the actions of the persons reporting to the person in charge.
Am I to belive that the Minister (Kern reported to him) knew nothing of what was happening with this project?
What on earth were they thinking?
Lord give me strength to understand my fellow human beings, all this shall pass.
"Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its current; no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and another takes its place, and this too will be swept away."

Kern must have known that what he was doing was wrong and illegal. In any case, if he didn't know it means he was criminally incompetent.
