It is one thing to score "Brownie Points" in a debate with the living and another altogether to slander the dead. The dead cannot defend themselves. We have a greater responsibility to tell the TRUTH. what you posted about Fr.Eusebio Ferrao is based on hearsay, not hard evidence. If you have evidence, please give it to the Police or to the Archbishop or both. I will draw a parallel between what you wrote yesterday on the Net groups and what Devika wrote about Tariq Ahmed Battlo. Today, what she stated as facts are denied by the very person she quoted, DIG Ujjwal Mishra. Please take care when you write ill of others, specially the dead. Feel free to write good about others. One can often not undo damage of slander. ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Miguel Braganza" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "devika sequeira" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Tuesday, March 21, 2006 9:28 AM > Subject: Re: [Secular Goa] media bashing > > Please read the Navhind Times Page 1 Col 5 with the Headline just below > > the masthead reading , BATTLO HAD NO ACCOMPLICES IN GOA: DIG >>The Page 14 continuation has this telling statement from DIG Ujjwal Mishra, IPS > > "THE DIG ALSO MADE IT CLEAR THAT BATTLO HAD NEVER RUN AWAY FROM THE LEGAL > > CUSTODY OF THE J&K POLICE......." > > So what happens to your assertions and affirmations: QUOTE > >> Braganza, I presume, also has watertight proof that the "poor tourist" > >> Tariq Jallal was not *jailed for a year in J&K in 2000.* Or that he was > >> rearrested in J&K in 2002, escaped from custody and has been on the run > > for four years.

Brownie points do not edify a man when slandering the dead. Viva Goa. Miguel
