"I was absolutely steamrolled into the U.S. justice system," he told TIME, in his first U.S. interview since his legal woes began. "I want the rhetoric to be stripped away and the truth to emerge, and it will." Though he declined to answer specific charges on the advice of his attorney (who was present during the interview), Drabinsky claims in general that he was too busy running the company's creative affairs to pay much attention to the books.

Although some of the media speculated that the White House had been blindsided by the interview, TIME Washington correspondent Jef McAllister believes that?s highly unlikely. "This...

"Her enemies like to cast her as cold, calculating and ambitious, and sharing her own pain in this interview helps to humanize her," says McAllister.
