At least he has the decency to openly admit that what was done in the 90s was absolutely wrong, and I think he's been an important voice denouncing US imperialism precisely because he's seen how it works from the inside.

sure, that doesnt mean he can be trusted. the "now a fighter for democracy" bar is very high for people who did what he did, and are what he is.

I don't think we have to trust him, but when he says things that are obviously correct then it's worth sharing that. Also, the people that need convincing are more likely to listen to somebody like Sachs.
