No formal protest

Dear Editor,
I refer to recent statements made by President Jagdeo, regarding the Roger Khan trial. (KN, 8.5.08). He said that “…we have an obligation that if presented with any information by the US Government about Roger Khan’s involvement in any criminal act that would be pursued by our law enforcement agency…That is my position.”

This is very gratifying to hear. However, the president also stated his position on the illegal practice of rendition (or abduction) conducted by US agents. He told the people of Queens, New York, that he and the government oppose the “abduction” of any Guyanese even if that person was Mr Corbin. This is on record.
