		<description>Big B,

Do not bother with the defense team. the job is excellent and satisfactory. The indictment and the rule 98 decision are being dealt with strategically.

God bless you.</description>

		<description>Bro.zigggy,

What do you think about stephen Rapps deceptive behavior to the people of sierraleone? He has created a case of no substance, thinking he would had made some money, but only to be charlenged  to proof his mess he has created, which you and I know he is never going to. He also put the people of sierraleone under the impression that he was bringing billions for them from taylors alledge account,  which  we are yet to see. Do you still trust this guy , eventhough he is on his way to eat his ham burgers,drink star bucks coffee and HA..HA...HA..have lavish lunch with nice girls, while smoking expensive cuban cigars. Trust me he is done with the people of sierraleone,,, I advice that people start to think about taking the lier to court if he really , really leave this case  hanging as he&#039;s saying.</description>

		<description>Okay, until the FAT LADY SINGS we understand but the curtains are closing. Is there any other act to be seen?? Maybe, the cross examination and if the prosecutors don&#039;t bring their A GAME.....will you agree that we do THE END to this show???

As you can see, the defense is MILES and MILES ahead in term of presentation which the judges are to based their decisions on.</description>

		<description>Andrew,
And all we heard about that ceasefire was Mr. Taylor DID NOT LIKE IT......amazing how this one man gets BLAMED for others actions.

Didn&#039;t we see those naval ships just outside of Liberia&#039;s water while Liberians were dying?? Her reason for NOT coming in to STOP the mess she knew so much about given that Mr. Taylor was in communication with her........INTERNAL PROBLEM.</description>

		<description>Big B,
Simply......in going after Mr. Taylor, Liberia suffered. This silliness of SANCTIONS does not ALWAYS work!!!!. I can guarrantee you that Mr. Taylor and his family ate THREE or MORE times a day while Mr. &amp; Mrs Joe &amp; Jo Blow couldn&#039;t afford a daily meal.....yes that was what in part what the SANCTIONS did.

Her ZEAL to punish ONE MAN regardless of  WHO and/or WHAT was/were in the way didn&#039;t matter. The US accused the man for starting a war but turned around and supported a group(LURD) to bring GUNS and BULLETSr into a region  that needed BREAD and BUTTER....

I too join you in THANKING the defense for leaving NO STONE unturned.</description>

		<description>Helen,
Isn&#039;t it amazing that the UN will RESTRCT individuals FREEDOM for NO REASON??? Absolutely ZERO reason!!!. Liberians are been banned from traveling out of their own country because they are RELATIVES to Mr. Taylor or JUST FRIENDS or WORKED within his administration  .......plain and simple. WHY??? 

Individuals properties are been seized....REASON??? Relatives, worked or just friends of Mr. Taylor And to add insult to this silliness , the Gov&#039;t of Liberia wanted to ENFORCE such stupidity when her own Constitution was telling her &quot;SHALL NOT&quot;. Yes, Ellen tried the front and back doors entrances for the LEG to pass a LAW totally opposite of Articles 20a and 21a within the Constitution; WHY??? &quot;The UN is pressing me&quot; said Ellen....GOD BE DAMN Ellen!!! 

Is this what the UN is about???  She shows NO PROOFS to those individuals as to what wrong they committed yet they go NO WHERES and properties outside of Liberia seized. As we looked upon the years, we see names put on and taken off, HOW and WHY??? Is it when the British and the US say okay you are off then you are off???

Ms. Grace Minor was taken off recently, but my questions, WHY WAS SHE EVEN PUT ON WITHOUT A CHARGE and HOW WAS SHE TAKEN OFF WITHOUT A HEARING??? Maybe Tracey can put this to her friends at the UN.</description>

		<description>Ziggy Salis,
The prosecution have done nothing to proved any of their charges against Mr. Taylor while presenting her case. In return, Mr. Taylor have shown documentations to proved that he&#039;s not what the prosecution have said he is. For example, he told the court that he help the RUF rebels from August 1991 to May 1992 because he decided to fight ULIMO in Sierra Leone. 

Through the help of the so-called peace keeper in Liberia at the time, ULIMO was able to captured western Liberia up to the Guinean border leaving that part of Liberia with the Sierra Leonean border under ULIMO control for about 6 years. So my question to you is that, why didn&#039;t you or the Prosecution investgate as to who was supplying the RUF with weapons for those 6 years period? Why didn&#039;t the special court for Sierra Leone charge Mr. Taylor from the period of March of 1991 to the time he ( Mr.Taylor ) left Liberia? 
I must say this, if Mr. Rapp actually served in the US Military and serving as chief prosecutor on this case against Mr. Taylor and Using they say as evidences, he is a disgrace to the American People. 
He didn&#039;t do a good of a job and it&#039;s sad! I think that&#039;s the reason why he&#039;s leaving saying that he got a new assignment. Your Sierra Leonean know better for an outsider to come and tell your lies about what your went through is so sad. A big killer like Tejan Kabbah is walking around like a hero as your look at him but he was bless that his own forces ( The STF )didn&#039;t kille him! But some day your will get to know who is responsible for your problems! Keep your eyes out&gt;</description>

		<description>Ziggy Salis,

What we are saying is that unlike the Prosecution who presented hearsay evidence and second and third hand evidence, Mr Taylor has been able to present documentary evidence. I do not see how this can be faulted by anyone. Do not forget some of these documents were actually produced by the very same Westerners. Have you seen how many inconsistencies the US UK and UN actions protrayed? On the one hand they praised Mr. Taylor&#039;s involvement only to go back and sponsor the launch of a smear campaign when they could not totally control him. 

You say Taylor is a liar? Well I think the real liars are those who fabricated some of the reports we are seeing uncovered here. If this court was a real court and not one that is politically motivated, this case would not see the light of day as it would have been thrown out ages ago for lack of evidence.

Yes we await the Prosecution cross. I surely want to see how they will dig themselves out of this mess. I expect them to try to be nasty but that will not save their face. 

And Ziggy, since you profess to know so much about the notion that Mr Taylor supposedly is lying, tell us where were you to know this so-call truth? Why didn&#039;t you present this so-call alternative view to the prosecution? You see it is simply that you are only basing your assumptions on hearsay. Did you see Mr. Taylor perpetrate these acts he is being accused or did you hear from someone and most likely the international press. Yes you are a classic example of an individual who has been manipulated by the media. In the future try to make judgements based on facts and actual evidence and not what you hear in the international media. It is not alway true. it is the job of the international media to be sensationalist. Go figure. 

I prefer to believe the person who is backing his statements with documentary evidence than the Prosecution that brougha bunch of liars to tellus &#039;they say&#039; and &#039;he said&#039;. EVIDENCE EVIDENCE EVIDENCE! THAT IS ALL WE ASK FOR.</description>
