We were criticized throughout that investigation for being too thorough, for taking too long. But time has proved the correctness of that approach.

This is a very highly charged investigation. People are very interested in this, and we've got a prosecutor, a very well respected prosecutor who's been looking at this issue, this investigation for a long time.

Each investigation team has a lawyer attached to it and there was a lawyer attached to me and my assistant.

If you want to investigate, we will be willing to assist.

And I thought if I don't pre-interview - first of all, we couldn't afford it - but the second thing was it would force me to do my own research, which takes two weeks.

I've seen people spend days, if not months, researching and gathering data, but only at the end did they finally figure out what they were really looking for; then they have to redo a lot of stuff. If after a day or so you force yourself to put together your tentative conclusions, then you'll have guidance for the rest of your research.

You can't expect to take a definitive image in half an hour. It takes days, often years.
