Sam, A friend called my attention to your last piece some minutes ago, and I thought it best to first thank you very much once again for responding. May I once again reiterate, in a general way, that this exercise is not a vendetta. I have said it before that I do not have any personal problem with anybody. What I am doing is to take to task all those who are partly or wholly responsible for the consolidation in power of the AFPRC/APRC, and after falling out with them want to become our saviours overnight. Sam, your last piece does not really contain any significantly controversial issue that needs too much of my attention. If anything your response has exposed your weak position. You came out of this one like a giant standing on mosquito limbs. Be careful before your tumble down like Humptey Dumptey. Your cohorts will not be able to put you together again. In your usual and desperate attempt to downplay my exposures, you have started a very futile fishing expedition in the mighty waters of the ocean. Be careful, the canoe in which you are fishing from is not strong. And the winds blowing across the ocean are powerful. The slightest mistake that you make may render your canoe useless at sea. You shall then make a feast in the ocean. Sam, I am not a politician. I am far away from home. I just happened to have been systematically following all events of significance back home; and I just happened to have known you since those days when you, Lamin and Essa were so inspired that you opted to explore the revolutionary world of Ahmed Sekou Toure - MEET ME IN CONAKRY. Then we were very young at school, having to walk from Serrekunda all the way to Kanifing. By the way, Essa is still ill, but Lamin is also surviving up to now. Stop your fishing expeditions and deal with the facts. Until I get back to you, in another piece which I intend to broaden, say hi to Leeka. Batch. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
