I don't have any plans to (meet with Bonds) now. This story has just happened. I want to be very careful as to how I respond.

It's something I'd rather not discuss right now.
The thing is not what only happens in this country, what happens all over the world.
once and for all deal with the integrity issue. There's no question there was an integrity issue.
