Conteh,

More than that, how does one endorse, work with, collaborate with and support
or help to advance the efforts of a child killer and a breaker of all the
laws of our country?  These are the reasons some of us speak out because if
one does not speak out for the truth and justice, then they cannot expect to
be protected by the same. All of us spend our childhoods being bombarded with
advice about the importance of  truth, integrity and pride in being an
excellent individual in all our endeavours. I cannot recognize some of us due
to the bad character traits that have surfaced in our midst.There is no grey
line between truth and lies, so one either is on the side of truth, or
supporting lies, no matter how nicely packaged the latter may be.
