Re: February 8 'Letter of the Day' titled 'Jamaica ganja-reform law possible'

Dangerous ganja proposal

The grounds for making ganja legal can only be on the premise that rum and cigarettes are legal. Ganja is harmful to humans, both physically and mentally.

I believe that it accounts for many accidents and murders in Jamaica. Even if you are going to argue on the grounds that when young men smoke it they become laid-back. Laid-back youth are an unrealised asset for Jamaica.

Say no to drugs

We don't need ganja to be legalised in Jamaica. Many people, including many of our prominent musicians, started with ganja and moved on to stronger drugs like coke. We should all say no to drugs.

Re: February 8 lead story titled 'Callous: JLP attorney under fire for exposing Lewin's wife'

Shame on Phipps

Phipps, as a seasoned attorney, you have reached the lowest depth of your career by resorting to the old-time way of deflating a witness. Have you thought of the risk to which you have opened up this person? Have you forgotten Wilson, the CIA employee who was exposed by one of Bush's closest allies? Shame on you!

A vulgar move

Phipps' behaviour has gone beyond theatrics into the realm of vulgarity. Lewin's lawyer, however, allowed him to get away with it.

To make the connection that he did was most unbecoming and worthy of condemnation.

A fair question

Mr Lewin comes to the commission and refuses to disclose all he knows and who told him all he knows. So the attorney asks of him if his close contact with an employee of the US Embassy narcotics division was the source of his info? What's wrong with that? It is a fair question.

Mr Lewin could have prevented this question by answering truthfully and fully. This is, after all, a commission to unearth the truth.

Smokescreen

This commission's objective is to clear Bruce and make sure he's propped up to win another election. It must be noted that the commission's choice to force the rear admiral to read aloud a useless MOU amounts to pure bias and partiality in favour for the JLP.

A waste of money

This entire enquiry is a farce. This is a waste of Jamaica's taxpayers' dollars that are desperately needed for education and health care in an effort to vindicate one of the most corrupt governments. The questions for this enquiry are: who hired Manatt, Phelps & Phillips? Where did the money come from? And, who informed Coke of the extradition request? Mr Brady, one of the key figures in this, decided he will not testify, with the punishment being J$500. The question of who informed the then commissioner of police one day earlier may be of little importance.
