I had the honor of serving with both Brig Atherly and Brig Collins and they were both men of integrity and honor. They were both Majors at the time, and I am sure that they have not changed. SN is doing these officers who served their country well a disservice in inferring that they may have covered up the sins of Major Clarke. I think nothing is farther from the truth.

Well said. I share your same sentiments. This forum as I said is full of psudo detectives whom seem to lack basic rational thinking.

Very good observation. SN only shows their true colors as psudo journalist. They don’t know about professional journalism and hence thay can’t practise it. All they do is TMZ style slanted journalism.

the army was running drugs way back since the 70’s and 80’s. i know because i happened to observed that happen. one night in late september 1979 my friends and i were coming from mainstay lake on a tractor without lights and we heared a small plane land on the airstrip near red lock on the essequibo coast. we thougt it was odd that an aircraft would land in the night there. we stopped the tractor and went silently towards the airstrip on foot. peering from the bushes that surrond the airstrip we saw 8 soldiers unloading tightly wrapped, heavy bundles from the plane and putting it in their army truck while four others stood guard. when they finished the plane flew off and the army truck then drove off. we then waited a while and then took a different roue home. later that same friday at anna regina market we spoke to some residents from the area and they told us the plane would make regular trips at nights to the airstrip with soldiers always waiting and guarding the cargo.

Mr moderator, why when people call out jagdeo for what he is you don’t publish their comments. what i said was fear and no make up. who in buxton was around that would trust jagdeo. for that matter the pee pee pee. he must not be allowed to air his hogwash with challenge. he must be made aware that people are up to speed with his misleading statements.

RS…..Clarke’s case/indictment appeared to have been sealed……he was mentioned as a co-operating witness at Khan’s trial…and in Siemil’s trial it was said that Khan wanted him eliminated but not to touch his mother, showing that Khan knew Clarke’s mother and wanted no harm to befall her…..it was only recently revealed that Clarke was also under indictment….the USA appears to have busted up a major drug ring…the reaches of which are still to be known….plea agreements with Khan and Clarke will allow the USA to keep vital info on this ring out of the public’s eye….

I second that…all my father’s family are from buxton and i live there from 2001 – 2006 and even i can’t get info on people there. Buxtonians don’t trust “Outsiders” and it doesn’t matter what colour you come in. People need to understand that. If you’re not buxtonian you are, if i can say this as the muslims say, an infidel and view with suspicion. I don’t trust Bharrat on his source at all.

Raj and others i will try to be objective here as much as i can. Sandhurst said something and we should look at it very carefully. First i wonder what the hell is happening in the Army when i hear stories like this. To me it shows a clear lack of leardership from all quarters because no one can tell me that Political figures did not had knowledge of these events. Roger Lucheon should know about this because he held the same position for for the last 17 years, during which time no memeber of the army was brought before the courts on any drug related charges. Someone had to know.

I applaud Sandman for giving us an insight to some of the things that are happening in the army as there is only so much he can say. But rather we listen and try to understand what was just filtered to us we continue to see our troubles through the PPP and PNC lens and even at times through ethnic lens. For some to use the proverbial Horse phrase to respond to what SH said, is simply rediculous and insensitive.Further to link Roger Khan in any shape or form to what he has just said is even more insensitive to the extent of lost of mind.

The picture i came away with from SH statement, is that the morale fabric of everything is Guyana is gone. The army Dealing in Drugs, Police dealing in drugs and with drug dealers, Drug dealers on the rampage. The biggist blunder the PPP did was to get mixed up with roger khan and his criminal enterprise.

I said this from the beginning and i know why i believe it, i live in buxton from 2001 to 2006, and the level of crime we saw was primarily due to DRUGS. It was a drug war and nothing more. There was too much drug money out there and everyone wanted there share of it. Raj when you dealing in drugs you dont trust anyone. Hence i blame the government for all the deaths from 2002 to date.

One of the major problems when it comes to RK and the FF is that they represent two sick sides of our society. Anyone taking either sides and justify it is sick in mind.

we run things or whatever your name is, if the u.s knows this who else wouldn’t know, the facts are there in the court, why you think rk confessed, had he gone to trial do you know how many names would be calling, but nevertheless khan sang like a sparrow.

It is my belief that Clarke turned himself in because he figured he would be safer in US custody.
