Her reputation was called into question recently by the country's Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which recommended that she and others be barred from political office for their alleged roles in past civil wars. Johnson Sirleaf has acknowledged that she raised funds for Charles Taylor, a former President now facing war-crimes charges. But that support, she insists, was for aid when both were opposing the dictatorial rule of another earlier President, Samuel Doe. When Taylor's rule turned bloody...
