katim,
As you rightly pointed out, records of the debates on Gambia - L, accessible to anyone on the internet is a clear evidence for exoneration from Mattarrs' allegations. The very forum that he is condemning is what he is trying to use to put his point across, I find this very ironical on his part. Let's not be distracted from what has already been initiated.
