Mr Editor, I appreciate this editorial titled, "Bad-Mouth Will not Help Govt Prosecutors." It was well written and it warns Govt Prosecutors in particular and the Judicial System in Liberia in general that truly justice is not in the favor of one "powerful" party against a "weak" party. Moreover, human beings do not have to play God. When we pronounce on our fellow man, "Go and sin no more", are we not playing God? We all are sinners in the sight of God. For all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God. So if one says to another, "go and sin no more," the speaker implies that he/she is clean, righteous, sinless, perfect, which equates him/her to God, while the addressee is the opposite which equates him/her to Satan/Devil. Is it not clear, then, that we make God a lair "if we say we have no sin," when in fact we are sinners? My advice is, let the "Pastor" re-evaluate the theology which gave rise to that quotation: "God and sin no more."

The News news parper editorial on the recent verdict on messrs. Julu and Dorbor is badly written. First, the phrase "bath mouth" does not collaborate with what is written in the body of the editorrial comment. Moreover one wonders if the editorial staff of this paper has similar comment when the quilty verdict was pronounced on the the two men by a jury trial? The destruction of Liberia was partly attributed to the bad journalistic practices in the country. Now is the time for the Press Union of Libeia ro re=examine itself and set an international standard that is consumable anywhere and everywhere.

Result of treason trial by judge should be analysis evaluated by the both parties, government and the court, but retract is not a solution, because of our young democracy, we need to engage in the proper line of attack, is what we called democracy.

I personally appreciated the result, even boasted to my friends from the other West African states. That democracy is working in Liberia and the president should not response to the decisions of other branch of government like this, because they are partners managing the country. I believed that government should review his prosecution stand and not to precipitate charges against citizens with out strong evident.

And Ellen should be proud of the result.

Garmack,

Thanks for the observation on the editorial, but the main issue is whether the statements by the governemnt Chief Prosecutor and the Harvard trained president/Human Rights Activist are good for our young democracy.

The Honorable Justice Minister immediately condemned the Judge when the verdict came down.Is he saying that the men should had been convicted in the face of the government miserable performance throughout the trial? The president returned home and shamelessly try to play God,"go and sins no more." Who is she to tell other Liberians not to commit sins when she helped Taylor to kill haf of a million Liberians just for power?

There may be some mistakes in the editorial, but the issue is clear in our Liberian term; bad mouthing the ruling will not change the verdict, it will only make the Judge more popular amongst opened minded Liberians. We know Ellen does not like the Krahns, but they are Liberians and must be protected by the laws that proect all Liberians. Her staement made it clear to the krhan folks, that they are all guilty of subversive acts, except that they have not been arrested by Fumba and Fahnbulleh.

Let us discuss the statements instead of going after the Editor who are think is doing his best.

Thanks,
