Mr. Landing Jatta,

I beg fo differ from your position on "alleged" use of
profanity by Alieu S. Keita.  The last time I checked,
The Gambian President has been constantly called
moron, imbecile, etc, etc,.  What do you say about
such insults? Do you see it prudent to tolerate such
language as long as it is directed to members of the
Gambia government?.  Besides, I don't recall Alieu S.
Keita hurling insults at anybody. Can you quote a
specific abusive line from Mr. Keita? Please, lets
talk about the issues and quit this hypocrisy
nonsense.
