1:20:03
...he can go to the National Archives
and learn what the CIA and FBI knew.
1:20:09
They may push it back then.
1:20:12
It may become a generational affair.
Questions passed from parent to child.
1:20:16
But someday, somewhere,
someone may find out the damn truth.
1:20:21
We better.
1:20:24
Or we might just as well build ourselves
another government...
1:20:27
...like the Declaration of Independence
says to, when the old one don't work.
1:20:32
Just a bit farther out West.
1:20:35
An American naturalist wrote:
1:20:37
"A patriot must always be ready
to defend his country...
1:20:41
"...against its government."
1:20:44
I'd hate to be in your shoes today.
1:20:47
You have a lot to think about. You've seen
evidence the public hasn't seen.
1:20:52
Going back to when we were children...
1:20:55
...I think most of us in this courtroom...
1:20:58
...thought justice came automatically.
1:21:01
That virtue was its own reward.
1:21:03
That good triumphs over evil.
1:21:06
But as we get older
we know this isn't true.
1:21:10
Individual human beings have to create
justice, and this is not easy...
1:21:15
...because the truth often poses a threat
to power...
1:21:19
...and one often has to fight power
at great risk to themselves.
1:21:22
People like S.M. Holland...
1:21:25
...Lee Bowers...
1:21:26
...Jean Hill, Willie O'Keefe...
1:21:28
...have all taken that risk
and they've all come forward.
1:21:32
I have here some $8,000 in these letters...
1:21:35
...sent from all over the country.
1:21:38
Quarters, dimes, dollars from housewives...
1:21:41
...plumbers, car salesmen,
teachers, invalids.
1:21:45
These are people who cannot afford
to send money but do.
1:21:49
People who drive cabs...
1:21:51
...who nurse in hospitals...
1:21:53
...who see their kids go to Vietnam.
1:21:57
Why?
1:21:59
Because they care.
