Joe Sambou,

I do not want to be at the receiving end of your barage of insults since i am 
only interested in intelligent discourse and the exchange of ideas, which is 
really the only thing that will produce results. However, It appears that you 
make every effort to silence anyone who wants to tell us what they know about 
this regime, all in the name of fighting for the people. I find this 
interesting and bizarre at the same time.
