@ Bas
(LIBERIAN HISS!!!!!!!!!!!!) Let me hear my ear. Even children learn at an early age that you can NOT believe everything you read.
The link you are referring to seems to be more fiction than fact. It is lacking in several key areas. First, it omits the role of the western countries. More importantly, it is NOT believable.
Earlier, someone made a point about, if CT had arms, millions upon billions of dollars, why was he unable to defeat his challengers?
Moreover, are we going to allow the world to place conflict in front of all African resources to justify keeping our countries in their place? Conflict diamond, now timber, what is next? conflict coffee? I beg you,get your head out of the sand box!
The Tubamn era was a great time for Liberia, even you can’t deny that fact.

Bas,
Again, when was the letter written?? According to you, it was written “AFTER”…so we move forward, what was Mr. Taylor’s response?? The answer HE DID NOT RESPONSE!!!! That’s the evidence put in this court.

Please DO NOT mix up the Sierra Leone with Liberia….he is on trial for what the prosecutors said were his involvements in Sierra Leone…this case got ZERO according to the prosecutors with Liberia, so I ask that we finish up Sierra Leone then we can deal with Liberia…..a deal??

And for your information, we, who advocate for TRUE JUSTICE, are NOT supporters of Mr. Taylor but simply looking at the evidences put forth, and so far, THIHGS ARE NOT ADDING YOU….we have yet to see a SINGLE PIECE OF CREDITBLE EVIDENCE….something that is SIGNED, SEALED and BANNED!!!

Koiwood,
Not that the prosecutors don’t have SUFFICIENT EVIDENCES…..they DO NOT a SINGLE PIECE OF EVIDENCE based on the MANDATE of this court to even move this case beyond today. Their goal is to just prolong this case hopeing A MIRACLE will happen.

Dear GreBo
i did not do that research, i have read this document back in 2004 when it was just released. A lot of intellectual people have done that over the years and presented based on documents and witnesses a report of their few of likely scenarios. Yes, details might be incorrect, but you know those things are calculated as well when judgements are made, decisions are taken. The big line is at stake here, someone who had a helicopter view over the whole situation during those years and yes that was Taylor.

I am positive about the outcome of this trial as it can and will only be one possible decision available to the judges of the court. These judges are capable enough to make a sound and well based decision based on the evidence of the prosecution and what the defence brought to the tables.

I must admit I am really looking forward as to what Ms Campbell and friends will add to this case. It will probably be confirmation of what we all know already

Dear Noko4,

Paper does not lie, people to do that. Compulsive lying, making yourself ‘look’ better then you really are. I would lie if I were in Taylor shoes, who wants to go to jail and have the key thrown away.

Of course Taylor has still plenty of supporters, people who benefited more when he was still President. Look at Liberia now, look at its development, do you want to go back in time?

But didn’t Taylor have his own plan for Liberia, called plan 2024, because then he would be longer President as Tubman. That was his aim, looks to me more like a dictatorship then free and fair elections.

You can beg what you want, you can have your opinion, but I have mine as well.

Bas
Please tell us the real evidence that your letter produced? Where is it? We want to see it? Are those lies about Taylor involvement with arms deal you referring to? If Taylor was that powerful and had all the means of getting arms, do you think the LURD and MODEL rebels would have reached Monrovia? Do you think in the early 90s that ULIMOS, LPC, Black Berets and all the other anti-Taylor forces would have captured territories from Taylor?

Taylor only problem was the lack of war materials but not the human resources and human will to fight on. If Taylor had war materials, he would still be sitting in Liberia as president because his soldiers were loyal and committed to their leader. We were victims of the Liberian bloodbath and we know what when down. All these Global Witness reports are deception to front for criminal multi national companies. They are paid to lie on Charles Taylor. Never again will some of us take these international socalled human rights groups serious. Because , they were never interested in human rights but exploitation of Liberia.

Sierra Leone sponsored war against Liberia but no one is talking about it, Guinea sponsored war against Liberia and no one is talking about it. What kind of human rights is that ?

Bas,

Great research on your part but it’s all calculated lies that has already been put forth in this present court and can’t even stand. I was eager to find the letter you refer to, after reading the letter, it was the funniest evidence I’ve seen so far. Without going into details, I wonder why will Koroma write such an appeal when he was already getting help according to the indictment. Why will Koroma write such a letter to Taylor when according to the prosecution case, it was Taylor who send them. Why will someone send a person on a mission, and the same person will write such an introductory piece of appealing letter? Bro, please come back with a better research, we’ve seen it all!!!!!
