Joe,

Please understand the woman is not trying to clear her name for speaking to a paper, she is saying that she DID NOT SAY the things the paper reported. My point is, you initially condemned the credibility of the paper and now you are trying to make this very paper your bastion of defence. Come on, raka. When you are wrong, you are wrong and the best defence in your situation is to give-in to your mistakes and MOVE ON. Your statement  "I stand by my original comments" is a clear indication that you want to "ras-to-ras" this issue. Well, if that is what you want, I have no time for that. You can do it on your own. I hope Astrid, Dagma and Mrs Samba-Christensen will leave you to enjoy yourself.

Cheers

Prince

      Prince, the burden of proof on Mary, not me.  She was quoted by the 
      observed and I merely commented on her statements.  If she really 
      wants to tell the truth, why don't she demand an apology from the 
      Observer.  Until she does that, I stand by my original comments.  I 
      think you are partial in your comment, for the quote is clear and 
      precise.  Do you really believe that Mary never spoke to the 
      reporter?  If so, what do you base it on?  Don't tell me because she 
      said so.  Until you do that, please chill. 

      Chi Jaama
