Perhaps all findings should be completed and a true picture drawn before
this distro or anyone else for that matter is informed. Untruths are
horrible things with ramifications far beyond the "now". We should endeavor
to search and stay with the truth, always.

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.
