Dear J Fallah Menjor,

May I trouble you to revise your comment that you submitted on July 26 at 3:43am? The third and fourth sentences could be interpreted as suggesting another person on this blog was involved in crimes, and our policy precludes that from being published. Can you please reforumate and I will happily publish it? Let me know if you need me to send through your original posting by email.

Best,
Tracey

DID TAYLOR LIVE ON CAREY ST. NO….
DOES CAREY ST. HAVE A COMMERCIAL DIAMOND SALES FACILITY? YES…
COULD ANYONE FROM ANY PART OF THIS WORLD SELL HIS DIAMOND ON CAREY ST? YES….
WAS THE SELLING OF DIAMONDS AT THAT FACILITY LEGAL? YES….
so, there was nothing wrong with the diamond entering liberia…..thank you..

Duala,
Let me remind you that this trial is about Sierra Leone…..There are many WAR LORDS walking the streets of SL including former Pres. Kabbah.

Now if you noticed, we are in a court where evidences are judges and so far, Mr. Taylor is in the lead; WHY?? The prosecutors didn’t do their homeworks…plain and simple. They thought this case was going to be like the ones in SL, where the defendants were SCARE….not Mr. Taylor.

Duala,
The right thing to say is, shame on all of those who want Charles Taylor convicted on these calculated lies that have been told against him.

Two simple questions for you Fuad.
1.) In what year was Sam Bockarie granted assylum in Liberia?
2.) when Issa Sesay went to Monrovia did he go as a guest of the Liberian government?

If you answer this two questions sincerely to yourself you will see the futility of your arguments.

Now who, in their sound mind, would believe this ramblings about dropping diamonds on Carey Street, which had been intended to buy arms in Bokina Fasu, by General Isa Sasay, who had to go through Monrovia, ViA destination? Except associates or those who stand to loose from such allegation! Isa is in a deep mess come cross examination. He wouldn’t be behind bars for the rest of his pityful life if he was believable in the first place! God Bless your cursed soul, Isa!

Ziggy Salis,

Good point ;however, diamond indeed got dropped and misplaced because it was on the radio. According to report on the radio at the time, few folks found diamonds on carey street. So really, I dont know where according to you Sesay lied. If sesay indeed came to monrovia to give Taylor diamonds, why will the diamond be in his pocket for all those days. I wonder while will such high profile visitor be hosted in African Palace hotel when there were countless guess houses including the now ruin Hotel Africa? Well , I was just trying to understand the lies in Sesay statements, but couldn’t find one.
