Malik,
     Neither was i trying to defend anything or anybody brother.You have the
right to be an advocate of the CIA if u so wish but...It puzzles me to see
Malik a PDOIS member sending such sweet milk to an institution like the CIA!
Well Malik in as much as one fears being a culprit of George Bush's "You are
either with us or against us" likewise,attempting to entertain topics were
the CIA is to be seen as a better tiger than the NIA or any other
intelligence agency elsewhere is REALLY unexpected of you.
Show me where i attempted to defend the NIA in my article? Where Malik?

If i were defending them blindly would i have recommended training the
agents concerned etc etc?
Malik my position was to compare and contrast and then ask questions...? Did
u carefully read my posting brother?

Malik no security agency for that matter can escape the dirty games of
"covert" operations.You are yet to be "seasoned" in that area i assume(?)
Malik then should i say you are deliberately attempting to make us accept
that the open apology on CNN as far as Lumumba's death is concerned
especially where the CIA has been stained in that operation,is ok for you
or...?
So despite the fact that they and the Belgians were mentioned on the CNN in
an operation like that you still prefer them being saints over other
intelligence agencies as far as the rule of law is concerned?
Ah Malik?! Or  should i say that for you law is only applicable to the
present and not the past?

Malik please visit the following site and tell me whether you CAN see a
better apparatus amongst these intelligence agencies as far as certain
operations are concerned or not?
Miscarriages in justice are more often caused by intelligence agencies than
any other institution as far as "covert" operations are concerned Malik,be
they NIA or not!

The site is:(www.hrw.org/reports/2000/Rwanda)
Malik the more we go the more i can be showing you were both the goose and
the gander pick their grains from!
So i wasn't defending the NIA i was just trying to let some of us know that
its a dream for anyone to think ofa state without an intelligence agency!
You did mention the failure of the gestapo...yes Malik! Similar  issues
created the dark cells of the Gulag achipelago also! These agencies were
created for a purpose and they met other agencies that played the cards
better than them thus they were put off and demonised for me and you.
However,all professionals be they teachers,doctors etc do use the same
methods that they learnt from schools or training centers.So the best or the
worst depends on who understands how to make good use of what was taught at
school and who does not!
Now all agents are trained from the same institutions and are using the same
methods, so how can you attempt to seperate milk from sugar after the latter
has already dissolved in that very bowl of milk?
If you praise those intelligence agencies now and condemn colonialism it
will make me reach for an aspirin!
Who were the conductors of those methods towards our villages apart from
those agencies u are praising here?
If the Paris agent respects the rule of law(according to what i can gather
from yours) more than the Gambian one and that very Parisien showed the
Gambian one how to utilise what was learnt from METHODS AND TECHNICS,isn't
that a paradoxical position from you Malik?!
Malik the methods that have been picked up from Washington or from London
are the very ones being used at GPMB!
NOTHING LESS NOTHING MORE!
You made mention of the CIA answering to questions during press conference!
Yes Malik but that was the director and other senior officials you saw.What
did the director reply as far as the last question was concerned?
Well Malik he chuckled and said that he'd prefer answering it in private!
Malik that was transparency being disrespected or National security being
safeguarded? I would prefer the latter if i were to be in the CIA director's
position.
Concealing some information at times means saving the life of agents who are
on the ground and in most cases some of those are on missions that are
intended to save the lives of millions.
So Malik isn't the domain of intelligence networking to slippery to
politicise through paradoxical analysis and unprofessional journalism?

Malik if u wish i invite u to be my guest on this.

Yeropulloh!
