Sir, Sirleaf was one of the Liberians in exile who personally funded Charles Taylor's original rebel movement into Liberia and went around the US raising funds for him and campaigning in support of his group. As the story goes, she even went to visit him in the Nimba bush once during this period. Of course, she had been a victim of Doe's brutality and wanted him out by all means. She has acknowledged this role instarting the civil war and publicly apologized, purportedly for her error in judgement.
