At the same time, I just want to remind everyone of our policy to focus on the issues, and not on each other when posting comments on the site. They will not be posted otherwise. Also, Noko5 -- my apologies for not getting back to you yesterday on witness protection -- I ran out of time unexpectedly. I will do so today. Best, Tracey Hi Noko5 — I have posted it.

This is a new allegation, are you sure you are not confusing Bockarie with Yeaten. There is as I recall an outstanding issue against Yeaten concerning the murder of his wife/partner As Always Wadi'The Zima' So Bockarie killed his wife!!!

This may of course be coincidence, but at the very least it raise questions as to the possibility of targeted killings.

We really do need more objective analysis of the kind you provide as a counter to the intellectual and emotional hysteria which seems to inform so many of the comments that assail us on a daily basis.

I was told on August 7, 2009 while I was on rest and recovery leave in Liberia from Iraq that Yeaten was not there when Bockarie enter Liberia from the Ivory Coast. So as far as blah saying or making people to think that yeaten Killed Bockarie, I don't think that is true. Yeaten pick up the body of Bockarie in Ganta from other security personnels from the border who were engaged in the fire fight with Bockarie and his men. in fact, Bockarie killed some of his own family members who were with him that day because he knew he wasn't going to make it.... his wife was fighting as well, as Sundayboy Davis ( COL. Morden War ) have said and he is prepared to testify at the ICC on that account. I am telling your because I was able to talk to some of the former Soldiers who were involved in that fighting with Bockarie and his men at the border. Even a female who live at duport road now was there on that day because she was sick and on her way to the Ivory coast but they were stop because of that fighting between Sam Bockarie and the Liberian security forces. The man who took that shot that gun down Bockarie is still alive and he not even trying to hide himself. He is willing to tell the story in court at the ICC once he is call upon. Moses Blah girl friend whom I know even told me that he lied. Guys,

I also had a cousin assigned with the executive mansion guard brigade. He told me that Bockarie was shot at the border in a firefight. But these accouts are inconsistent with Blah's.
