Cathy,
You are very correct, but maybe they are waiting for the slam dunk from Naomi Cambell; Cuz, I am definitely sure she is going to put those prosecution liars faces down to the floor. THEY WILL EAT SAND like chickens…. I bet Brenda Hollis will render her own career useless and retire….

You guys are actually missing the point. Where do you think this Sesay of a guy can get the documents. This guy has just been paid and promised freedom if he can give some positive witness against Taylor. My man Taylor was just a Monster.

Dear readers — please do note that here we are trying to create a forum where everybody is free to express their opinions as long as they fit with our policy for comments. Part of that policy is to focus on the issue and not on other readers. I encourage you to express your opinions here — and many of them — but if we could keep them away from being personally and negatively directed against others, that would help ensure that our conversation remains on track. I continue to ask for your help in creating a forum that is driven by the issues and not by personal attacks.
Best,
Tracey

Teage,

If your Italian friend indeed thinks Taylor is guilty, its a fact that he/she thinks he stoled 5 Billion, so why cant he/she help in the recovery like his/her fellow europeans. You’re the the one with the irrelevant and emotional discussions. The 5 Billions in question is a irrelevant discussion, or is it because you and others want to avoid such discussion because there are NO billions???? Come-on. AGAIN, TELL YOUR SO-CALLED ITALIAN FRIEND TO JOIN THE MOVEMENT TO RECOVER THE 5 BILLIONS !!!!!

GreBo,
Let’s agree for argument sake that the usage of the word ‘could’ translates Kromah’s entire statement about Taylor’s dream of a lifetime presidency into a supposition then how does Kromah’s concluding remark ” that is what he could tell me. And we never collaborated.” fit into such supposition?
Taking a single word out of an entire conversation and making a mountain out of it was very crafty of you but where you failed miserably was not knowing that a word can have both denotative and connotative meanings and people have peculiar dictation. I’m greatly surprise you don’t know that there is something called sentence clue.
Here Kromah is accused of collaborating with Taylor.He denied it and reinforced his denial by two examples:

1. Why didn’t I collaborate with the 1997 elections and I ran against him

2.He COULD come to me and say ‘My man, let’s join together and rule this country forever

If we are to go by your argument than Kromah’s entire conversation and many conversations we hear and read everyday will become meaningless.

Grebo,
Really though?
He ‘aint’ got to do a thing but have and express his honest opinions about how he feels about this trail. I only brough him up to make a point, not to enlist him in the team to hunt down 5 billion dollars.
Let’s try to get back to the issue, and avoid the irrelevant emotional discussions.

Morris,

All your name calling is okay, because it represent the way you thinks e.g You paste the following quote

“This was instant self-defense. That is how we converted ourselves into a quasi army. And even at that, I was still on Taylor’s back. Why didn’t I collaborate with the 1997 elections and I ran against him? He COULD come to me and say ‘My man, let’s join together and rule this country forever?’ And I could ask him as to who will be president and he would say that you came to liberate and I came to be president. “So let me be the president”. That is what he could tell me. And we never collaborated.”

With all your Einstein thoughts, you failed miserably to understand that the above quote from Kroma was just a supposition, and what he (Kroma) was allotting to was an analogy. You’re claiming this was an actual statement from Taylor? That is sad, my friend, you’ve disappointed me, Man! for a moment i thought you was a genius in reading comprehension, didn’t you see the “COULD”. Wow, Okay maybe that’s how you comprehen. Anyway, lets move on to this quote from you

” You have to be confused, laboring under delusion or held ransom by desperation” Liberia men like BOOK business Yeaaa, I m laughting so hard, Damn! take it easy cuz you seems to have Materially and carefully place the “H” in Rhetoric. Man! you’re full of empty Bs Jargons
