  2. Is this really the extent to which a govt would go? This is both worrying and frightening. But what about the publication responsibility?

  3. Lasana Liburd well i totaly agree with your thinking,the angle of revenge is real ,and the maxim that hath no fury than when a woman is scorned.so getting him out of the way in the shortest time possible,i have the sneaking suspicion that the next revaltion will be the icing on the cake,jack prepared himself for this in advance,he had emenmies within ,suraj who he deposed in a palace coup,never accepted his defeat from jack.

  4. Like somebody want Jack to go up the hill without Jill?
