Condit must answer questions
The Collegian Opinion

    With our horrible war at hand, Americans have had little time to think about anything else.

    For one Gary Condit, this might be a relief.

    Condit, surely, is as horrified by what happened on Tuesday as is everyone else, but in the very back of his mind, he has to feel a little bit relieved that the country is no longer focused on him.

    However, some of us have not forgotten about him and the accusations that are pointed his way.

    The body of Chandra Levy has still not been found. Her family is still suffering from not having any idea where she is.

    The Levy family at least deserves some closure; however, that is something they probably won’t receive for a while, if ever.

    The question is, does Condit know where she is, dead or alive?     The answer most Americans feel is yes.

    Condit broke his silence not too long ago in an interview with Connie Chung. He seemed to avoid the subject of what was at hand. He didn’t give t

he feeling of remorse, or for that matter, a feeling of anything.
    He claims that he and Levy were good friends; however, Levy talked about how they were more than just friends.

    Now, who’s telling the truth?

    It doesn’t take a scientist to discover which person is not being honest.

    There has been speculation that Condit had bought Levy a graduation gift and a bracelet, which he denies.

    The congressman described her as “very nice, smart and interested in politics.”

    He also says that she was excited to be going home for a May 11 commencement to collect her master’s degree in public administration.

    The question is why would a woman who was excited by what her future held suddenly just disappear?

    She told her aunt that she and Condit were having an affair and that they had a five-year plan, in which he was to leave his wife and marry her.

    Was she another love-struck girl, or was she telling the truth?

    Condit denies the affair, but under the circumstances anyone would.

    If our own president could lie about an affair, anyone could.

    If Levy were this happy in her life, why would she do anything to destroy it?

    Some Americans believe that in an effort to keep her quiet, he quieted her for life.

    Condit may not have done it himself, but the mere possibility of having someone else do the malicious deed is not unquestionable.

    For a man who shows no sympathy or remorse, for what he calls a good friend, is quite suspicious.

    In the wake of everything that has happened, Condit believes that the nation has forgotten about him.

    Rest assured, Mr. Condit, some of us haven’t. Sooner or later, you will have to answer our call.
