Pa Nderry,
 
I have known Tam Jasseh personally for years and indeed, when I had  occasion 
to speak to him years ago, warned him to stay clear of this  regime to no 
avail. I can tell you that the simplistic,  incoherent narration attributed to 
him is not the way he talks at all. Not  in the least bit. Tam is very coherent 
and well spoken and infact takes pride in  being so..This is why after reading 
that statement,  I suspected that  some of these people were collaborating 
with the regime with a cooked up  story but as per the statement from his family 
member, it may very well be that  he was not in control of his faculties for 
one reason or another. I notice that  the so-called marabout, Mr Faal's 
statement is comprised of almost  exactly the same words as that of Tam Jasseh with 
a few changes. 
Also, for what it's worth, Tam Jasseh is a U.S citizen and a veteran  of the 
U.S armed forces. He fought in Desert Storm. I wonder why the U.S embassy  is 
letting him be tortured if that is what is happening.
Indeed, I wonder why there is no public outcry  from those on the  ground 
such as the Gambia Bar Association who can raise their voices  at least to be 
heard by outside international bodies when these civilians,  and even soldiers 
are being denied their rights in such a blatant manner.  All these so-called 
confessions are inconsistent as you pointed out and how can  Yaya Jammeh by-pass 
the judicial system in such a blatant manner and get away  with it? Where is 
the voice of the Gambia Bar Association?

One  family member of Jasseh told the Freedom Newspaper that this was not the 
 Jasseh they used to know. They said the man was not focused when he faced 
the  GRTS media trial. That they suspected that the man was injected with drugs 
to  lose his mind.
