Dear Mr Jallow, Please accept my sincere apology for not joining some of the members in commending your act of apology. The reason being, that I am not sure which part you are apologising to the President for. I agree with Matarr Amadou Sallah that the Gambian people also deserve apologise. Do not get me wrong, for I believe in apologising when one does wrong but in this case apart from the money issue, I (i cannot speak for the Gambian people) don't understand the wrongs and trespasses that you alleged to have committed against the President in person. Please forgive me but I am very confuse. Some months back you had send damaging and graphic details of what you alleged happened to some of your colleagues and during the transition period. You also slandered not only the President but also others. 1. Does your apology mean that all what was said was a fabrication? 2. What " wrongs and trespasses" are these that you alleged to have committed against the President alone and not also to the Gambian people? 3. You wrote "... I choose to break the silence today and render my unconditional apology ..." you have not exactly been silent have you Mr Jallow? I wonder if there is more to " ... I choose to break the silence ..." than what we are reading! I once again apologise to you if anything written has offended you. I have been meaning to ask these questions since I heard about your apology over the TV and read it on the Newspaper. But I guess this once, I will trust my instincts. It is my opinion that really a blind apology to one individual is just not enough. Then again, this is my humble opinion. Take care and good luck. One thing I must commend you for is your bravery! <<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>> To view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] <<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>
