Abdou,

No, the 'warlord' did not appear, that item I forwarded is from
yesterday; saw the same on BBC World yesterday. I've just been reading about
him crying foul through his lawyer: (
http://allafrica.com/stories/200706041571.html). I guess the numerous vitims
of his crimes don't need a court verdict to tell them that the guy is a
criminal. Agreeing to hand him over for trial is about the best thing
Obasanjo has done during his tenure.

Remember 'tough' Sgt. Doe when Johnson finally caught up with him? He cried
and begged like like a four-year old ("Oooh brother, we are all Liberians,
please, please, I beg you Sir....!") before his ears and then his balls were
cut off. Taylor should consider himself lucky considering the carnage he
cause, the effects of which are still being felt by Liberians. Only wish
he'd serve in a Liberian jail.

Regards,

Kabir.
