Mr. Barrow, For a start, you can call me any name you wish. You wrote "All this time, I have not a heard a single negative comment you posted about the APRC except the few times you have been cornered and made to say that they should be held responsible for the murder of our school kids". This is what should be expected when people hold divergent views. If when I'm cornered, I accept defeat, why not when others are cornered to have the decency to concede too? Even though I have not catalogued all the bad things that this government has done, you cannot accuse me of defending any such bad deeds. Or can you? When people living thousands of miles away want to tell me that building schools before having qualified teachers or building hospitals before having qualified doctors is nonsence, do you expect me to accept that? If I defend the APRC projects and you don't agree, then the onus is on you to prove me otherwise. As for whether my wish to stay anonymous is derived from fear of future reprisal, don't worry 'cause I can take good care of myself. For your information, that has very little to do with the views I hold. I don't wish for any recognition or commendation for the stance I am taking on the issues discussed on this forum. If you bring on any issues that I consider to be in the national interest and I have any information to divulge, I will share it. Otherwise, I'll just ignore it. I would recommend that to you too. Rather than trying to defend others, bring up issues of national interest and see what my stance would be. Bye 4Now, KB Jobe. ========================================================== "There is a time in the life of every problem when it is big enough to see, yet small enough to solve" (MIKE LEAVITT) =========================================================== _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html You may also send subscription requests to [log in to unmask] if you have problems accessing the web interface and remember to write your full name and e-mail address. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
