"I will still maintain though that these people who were once APRC insiders

our people and destroying our country" . 

You see Jabou, the problem here is; assuming, your one and only goat got missing
and suddenly a wolf knocks at your door to claim that he knows who ate your goat
and how; you should not only become suspicious of that wolf, but if possible, use
a base ball bat to smash the wolf's face and disable it immediately, before you
may proceed to listen to the remainding story it may have to tell. No matter the
story this wolf tells you Jabou, the bottom-line is, 'all wolves are hungry for
goat meat'        So, how could you declare atonement for a single wolf because
it is claiming it has a story to tell?  PG
