IN our private daily conversations, we all say things we do not mean to people we trust, stuff that is not meant for public consumption. More often than not expletives are used. This is the best way to vent, to get stuff off your chest. We would never say these things to people in person because we do not mean it. 

How would Khemraj Ramjattan, Moses Nagamootoo or Glenn Lall react to their private conversations being recorded and broadcast worldwide? I am sure they say much worse in private about the Government and just about anyone who has different views. What hypocrites!
As for the Bar Associations and quack lawyers calling for the Attorney General’s head, since when is it ok to tap/bug a Government minister’s phone, or intercept their private conversations? When did it become legal to hack into someone’s email, edit and distort and publish same in an effort to blackmail the Commissioner General (CG) and the Attorney General (AG) in efforts to influence the outcome of a criminal prosecution? Which bottom house law school did you attend that taught you to convict without a hearing? And that trial by media was legal? Whatever happened to natural justice and due process? What criminal offence did the AG commit? Which laws did he violate? Why was there no call for the speaker to resign? What hypocrisy!
What would happen in the U.S. if a criminal hacked the e-mail or bugged the phone of the Secretary of Defence and released the information? Just ask SNOWDEN.
Kaieteur News has been aptly described as a rag by the U.S. It is probably the most unprofessional press outfit in the western hemisphere. It has become adept at spreading misinformation, half-truths and outright lies. It seeks to destroy anyone who is critical of Glenn Lall and his criminal enterprises. The daily headlines confirm this. The headline at page 16 of the KN on Thursday 6th November is further confirmation. The headline – “Guyanese afraid to speak on Nandlall issue – fear victimisation by Government” is not supported in any way by the story that follows. In fact what the interviews reveal is that the ordinary man has rejected Glenn Lall and they do not want to get entangled with his personal war with the Government. People have real problems to deal with and ask that Lall deal with his.
But Lall is doing the exact opposite. Instead of defending the charges of tax evasion and proving his innocence, he is attacking the AG and the CG relentlessly in his newspaper. How can this be right? Lall does not have the moral authority to condemn anyone, given his shady past and his current behaviour.
In any other part of the world, Lall and KN would have been shut down a long time ago.
To those who say the ends justify the means, you may be next.
