Dear Professors Leon and Podesta:

I would like to write my paper about the creation by Congress of a Truth
and Reconciliation Commission about the War on Terror. I'm particularly
intrigued by this topic, as I'm also enrolled in a class about
international criminal law that discusses many of the legal issues that
would likely be raised during a Truth Commission on the War on Terror. The
first part of the paper would analyze the attempts by Congress to create a
Truth Commission early in the first Obama administration, and would assess
why the attempt was unsuccessful. Then, the paper would analyze the
potential for a Truth Commission in the coming years, looking at the
political climate and possibilities for creation, what a Commission would
look like in practice, and possibilities for success.

Best,
Dave Wilkins

Dear Professors Leon and Podesta:

I was perusing the list of paper topics that you provided and was intrigued
by the last item on the list, about the creation of a Truth and
Reconciliation Commission about the War on Terror. I'm interested in
exploring this further as a paper topic, but wanted to check to see if this
was a topic that someone had already written about or that no one else was
planning on writing about it.

Thanks very much!

Sincerely,
Dave Wilkins
