Mr. Saul,

I always follow your writings on the Gambia-l, and you seem to be a straight
shooter, but today you did not demonstrate that at all. This is because you
try to stop the brother Landing Jatta from putting his point across. Let's
give him chance to complete his own finding before condemning the brother.
It may be true or not, let Jatta come with all his facts for everybody to
judge.
