""All government organisations, local, national or supra-national have the potential to be suborned and corrupted, by those with or without a faith. All individuals have the potential for wrongdoing, whether they are religious or non-religious - and we are all capable of self-delusion.""

Few wouuld agrue against such general statements-some would likely take it much farther than that. A question-what does this relate to specifically?

The litmus test of caring individuals and organizations is not only anticipating and detecting the corruption and wrongdoing, but actions taken to have such actions end and to promote healing of the victims.

""Perhaps the greatest protection, as has been said before, is constant vigilance and a determination to bring into the light that which others would wish to keep hidden.""

I agree - but, with the ""perhaps"" removed.


""It is also necessary, I believe, to look very carefully at what the evidence shows and not rush to judgement"".

Kinda of a general statement - with much wiggle room for broad interpretation. Can you give specifics as to what aspect of this discussion you refer to in that statement?
