Jaiteh, you are correct. We should not assume either that Barrow gave his
statements willingly. However, bear in mind Barrow's movements... going to
Waa, Dibba, Sam Sillah, Dumo etc. Barrow's also include a lot of
self-serving statements. At worst, he was scheming to dupe someone and NOT
to overthrow the government. On the other hand, the Italian might have used
him as a patsy in order to get the contract from Yaya. Like I said, I will
look at this some more. Thanks for alerting me not to jump to conclusions
even in Barrow's case. But to be frank with you, something smells bad with
Barrow. For what it is worth, let me inform you that I am already actively
seeking clarifications on some of the issues raised in Ebrima's post; not to
impeach Ebrima's Sources, but I merely want to understand a few things some
more. Thanks again.
