Mambuna, I am still finding it difficult to understand why you think Ceesay should have treat this as a personal matter with Taal's children.Just try once again and re-read these peoples previous postings on the matter and you will see how and why they failed to direct there reactions to the actual author of the said story.Remember Ceesay made it abundantly clear that his source got the story from the Observer and all he did was post it to the L for all.IN FACT Ceesay has in an earlier posting showed his respect and admiration for Mr TAAL's academic and diplomatic achivements as a seasoned diplomat---and more so his appreciation of Mr Taal's invitation to lunch eventhough he wasn't able to go(ivory coast) CEESAY was only doing his work as a journalist, the question whether he would report such stories if the case involves one of his immediate family members ?My answer is yes he sure will knowing very well the person he his. Ceesay is not the type you and the Taal family are trying to accuse him of.The Taal family has every right to defend their father but in doing so let them be mindful."MY father can teach your father."or thinking of a possible lawsuit against Ceesay in this case will not help either.Why not Alieu B Sowe and the Observer? My brother lets continue on the struggle ,this is part and parcel of the numerous problems created by the Jammeh regime so lets work and get rid of him by any means .
