Evian: Vantage point is another way of saying "point of view" or perspective. [While I'm here, let me answer a question you asked of me: I am asking Haruna, What is wrong with fact finding or gathering evidence to bulid up ones case as Halifa was doing when he was arrested?] Evian. Nothing is wrong with fact-finding missions. duplicitous and endless fact-finding however beggars belief and is good sport. I did not know Halifa was "fact-finding" to build up a case. Sorry. Who were the plaintiffs and who were the defendants? Which court was the case being heard in? You're too funny men. Investigative journalists go on fact-finding missions for their publications. You might get some traction Evian if you said Halifa was an investigative journalist for Foroyaa but then that would betray the profuse coverage Foroyaa's other "journalists" had given the matter. I must have missed where Halifa retained counsel to prosecute his case after the fact-finding. I want you to go on a fact-finding of "witch-hunting" and bring it to me to file suit a class-action suit on your victims' behalf. Evian, perhaps that was what Suntou's Oped was saying: That after the magnanimous self-sacrifice of Halifa, and having gathered the facts necessary, what next? And that other Gambians are encouraged to assist in making use of Halifa's facts. Oh I forgot, the facts gathered resided on a laptop that was seized and purged. New Kambians!! Haruna. Nzerekore mountain air is not good for your small lungs Evian. MQJGDT. Darbo. Kukeh can I have some of your posting issues??? Or I will go on a fact-finding to build a case against your consortium.

If that does not tally with what you meant, then explain what you meant. Don't you for a moment think that we are not vantaged because we have a leader like Yahya Jammeh. Ehh? If so you also had George W. Bush. Didn't he screw up the whole world into a human rights and economic recession before he left? Let me be brutally honest with you. YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY VANTAGE POINT OVER ME IN MATTERS OF GAMBIAN AFFAIRS. YOU MAY HAVE THAT OVER SUNTOU OR HARUNA OR YOUR PET DOG. New Amerikaaaans! They would not cease to amaze!

To: [log in to unmask] Date: Thursday, 16 April, 2009, 7:55 PM I find it interesting that although I didn't agree with Halifa's motives being questioned, etc., all anyone could focus on was my "vantage point" and take that to mean that I somehow thought that my opinion was superior to Gambians because I used the word "vantage point". And oh yes, fixating on my use of the term "sliced bread". And I'd go back to Clarksville if I could, but that's about 800 miles from where I'm currently living now. I love it when people try to insult you and they end up showing just how little they know about you, and making themselves look utterly foolish in the process by using words like "hibbies", i.e., Ginny I'm pissed and I'm back. Please do not insult our intelligence again with such load of crap. Take that back to Clarksville will ya. I'm sure hibbies will jump on it in a jiffy. God!" And what is a hibbie? (running to find a dictionary) I find this to be a bit humorous, and you've once again proven my point, thanks. Just for the record, I'm not criticizing Halifa in this case, however, I'm criticizing how others react to criticism of him. Let me also state that I do not question his motives. I don't think he was acting in his own self-interest when he went on the fact-finding mission and was later arrested and charged. And I disagree with anyone who wants to insinuate that he was somehow trying to better himself politically by doing so, and that if he'd known he was going to get arrested, he'd have not gone on said fact-finding mission. I guess that's a load of crap?
