The press appreciates candor and generally doesn't punish you for it. Look at what John McCain got away with. Speaking of McCain, here's Rule 3 for presidential candidates...

That's partly a bow to public passivity, and perhaps an acknowledgment that the proper course for U.S. foreign policy is anything but clear.

A more reasonable response was taken by the 9th Circuit in deciding the case of Kim Ho Ma, a Cambodian immigrant who served a prison term for manslaughter. The U.S. has no repatriation agreement with Cambodia, so there is no reasonable probability that Ma will ever be returned. Rather than keep him in prison forever, or until Cambodia relents, the appeals court interpreted immigration law so as to require the INS to release him subject to parole-like requirements, including regular meetings with officers and strict travel...
