That's your worry and choice. As far as we are concerned, vast majority of the Liberian people love their former president including myself. Fallah,

When and where? Why can't you help assist Ms. Hollis with this other lie? She is hustling so bad. She needs every help she can get. Talking about years later. What year "boss"? Al Solo Nyonteh,

From your experiences with rumors that were spread in Liberia in the 90’s, I assume you are well aware on how to distinguish the facts from the fiction and the creditability/linkage of the person telling the rumors. The judges follow a similar process (with more strict guidelines) in which you used, to make a decision about the validity of a rumor. You truly understand how important hearsay evidences can be. In 1991 the ULIMO was a threat to Mr. Taylor and the RUF participated in stopping their advancement into Liberia. My main concern is their participation was in line with Mr. Taylor’s agenda. In my view the RUF was helping Mr. Taylor’s with his agenda. Please inform me; how can a believer of rumors call this case “TOTAL NONSENSE!”?

Your artificial praise of LURD and MODEL being powerful, and justifying their attacks on innocent Liberians, is a reminicent of this fake trial. Lotson, what was the percentage point of total votes cast for LURD Deminte Conneh in the 05 election? About less than ONE PERCENT (1%). That says a lot. Lotson,

This is what the story said "The arrest of the student leaders was in connection with their alleged attack on, and subsequent damage of a police sub-station and a depot in Paynesville on Saturday, January 16, Dakina said." Noko4 A peaceful demonstration is not breaking the law and the PRC alleged stopping people from peacefully demonstrating was a violation of the law. We all know that the PRC administration was another human right abuser so I'm not backing them here. I'm only attacking Taylor statement by saying that he would have stop Buckarie from using such statement while he (Taylor) used similar statements several times. Samuel Doe if alive wouldn't say that he could speak against Idi Amin military actions while he was doing the similar. I won't as well agree to that. Our people don't know their fundamental rights that's why they continue to suffer under government officials and others. In the same way, they don't know their fundamental rights that's while they go on breaking the laws. I can't try to stage up my peaceful demonstration and than someone try to stop me that would be against my right likewise I shouldn't turn it into unlawful demonstration by attacking the police and destroying properties. That would be against the law. Harris K Johnson

As president of any nation, if there was trouble brewing in a neighboring country, one will make all effort to keep crisis as top priority because of its spill over propensity. The president of the US does not know of every little event that happens around and no president does. However major events like those crimes committed in SL was not a minor story. Besides, Taylor mentioned that he heard about these things through the new media (maybe not SL media). While I will agree that he might not be privy to the newspaper clippings in SL., major news agencies reported on the crimes being committed. Taylor is a very smart man or maybe we are giving him more credit for his intelligence than he deserves, but if he is as smart as we call credit him to be, he would have heard about those crimes since trouble was next door...if such problems exist, why should one be nonchalant? If he didn't know about the crimes, then I withdraw all statement suggesting that he is "intelligent" or "smart and well informed" Noko4,
