Joe Sambou,

When you spoke to Tejan at the embassy, did he actually admit that they were
reporting Gambians to INS? If he did admit that, then this would be important
in the defense of anyone that INS has picked up for deportation because the
only reason that the embassy woudl engage in this is because people are opposed
to them and therefore, as mentioned by Malamin Johnson, this can be useful as
a defense for anyone they have reported to INS.
But again, I emphasize that the  APRC regime is trying to get the attention
of Washington but unfortunately then think these embicilic acts will do that
for them,  and we can fight them by bringing their record to the attention of
the Bush administration and any potential  investors. That is an effective tool
in this game believe me.
