Yes , I am in favour of more COI for all the unanswered deaths going back 50 years, but, what will it solve, it will take another 50 years before we get the answers.
Incorrect! The PPP government turned down offers of assistance in curbing the crime spree from the UK and the US.
Alyuh PNc wanted to use the [PNC sponsored] terror wave as a means to "back door" power. The PPP was addressing the issue, no outside intervention would have had the outcome in that timeframe. In fact, it would have required PNC involvement and they would have used it to shelter your own terrorists rings and force political concessions out of the Govt! the foreign Govts would have politicized the issue!!
Furthermore, when you outsource domestic security to foreign powers, you can end up with Srebrenica and Rwanda!!
You're confused. I'm not a part of the PNC. Never was, never will be.
So you turned down the help of Scotland Yard and the US DEA in tackling crime related to the drug trade but you outsourced it to your top drug lord. Impressive!
This was outright terrorism, with drug mixed in. the DEA, under the US mandate would be limited. I doubt Scotland Yard would have gone in and extract the terrorists from their safe haven hideouts in Afro villages. The PNC would have interjected as mediators and tried to extract political gain.
Scotland Yard and the DEA were better equipped than Roger Khan in fighting crime. How stupid is it to make someone a crime fighter when he's responsible for the upswing in violent crime in the first place? Nothing to do with terrorism but all about turf war by rival drug factions. The PPP was on Roger Khan's payroll and inviting Scotland Yard or the DEA was going to skin up their runnings. They were killing two birds with one stone by having Khan "fighting crime". He would erase his rivals and at the same time consolidate his organization as the top drug enterprise in Guyana. A win-win for the PPP. The PPP guy controls the drug trade and they can always use him for political assassinations as they did with Waddell.
