Equally as likely Allawi threatened everyone else with the same treatment, if anyone else decided to leak the story. But you just prefer to call him a liar because the oh so credible NYT doesnt pick it up. Absence of proof is not proof of abscence as they say.
If you wish to hallucinate Radson we can't stop you but I'm not prepared to argue semantics with you endlessly. People reading this string of posts and the very reasonable and patient answers you were given will reach their own conclusions; just as the world wide journalistic community did. I'm perfectly happy to rest my case and let the record here speak for itself. As our host Bert would say ..."That's it!" and as I will say again ...it's a vacuum from here on this amigo, enjoy your own echo.
On to other matters. And firstly a qualification. My interest here has been and is the mischeivous role of the Australian media in this case. Ms Corby's guilt or innocence is not my issue and in fact you would be surprised at what my opinion is on that. A justice system however doesn't rest on opinion. It involves process to ensure fair and equitable treatment of an accused and protection of the community.
The Australian media has a record of hijacking that process. Sometimes it is in the interest of an editorial agenda but more often sensationalism. These people I dislike intensely as their complete lack of morality and sickening hypocricy make me want to vomit. Just as in this instance by stirring up the Indonesian authorities with their gratuitous insults and rabble rousing they effectively placed Ms Corby in further jeopardy. And just as they are doing again with their stupid speculations about the Bali 9. In their home country of course they can't get away with quite this kind of circus as it's sub judice until the judge gives a decision. Their ability with innuendo there is however also amazing.
With the above in mind please understand my disinterest in this tedious tit for tat discussion you are conducting. You ask a question, I answer it. You twist the answer and expect me to provide a different answer so that we can continue this asinine pursuit. The only specialty on display is a talent for simplistic one liners and that also gets tedious to deal with after a while ...kind of like those interminable conversations with a Jehova's Witness at your doorstep on Sunday morning. Perhaps they are the original trolls.
So here we go again.
Caught red handed? That would mean selling the stuff.
No, Radson. It doesn't mean that. It means caught redhanded with narcotics in your baggage.
You do however raise a question that stirs my intellectual curiosity and has for some time.
I ask again what other proof is there to corroborate the evidence.
When you get caught red handed with narcotics it's you who gets to do the explaining.
Has the marijuana been tested as hydroponic or is that Devine just quoting a Bali expat.
No idea. That's why the words used in my post are
Additionally by that description it "sounds like" (empahasis added) we are dealing with "skunk
Notice it is not hyped with words like "highly likely", "quoted by a senior Bali Police source" or "a good friend in the prosecution assured me". Just 'it sounds like". Clearly I'm expressing an opinion, not stating a fact. Why don't you read Ms Devine, sounds like you did, and re-read the Socialist World Article. The latter tends to disprove the smart arse editor's headline on the former. Smart arse headlines being a stock in trade of the SMH of course as they have managed to become that contradiction in terms - a broadsheet tablod.
