To Goanet - In today's Herald, Admin Frederick Noronha rushes to the defense of Dean D'Cruz and Oscar Rebello, both of whom he alleges have been "targeted." By whom, he does not specify. Therefore, I have to step in and do the needful.
As everyone knows by now, Oscar Rebello was "targeted" and unmasked some months ago - by Oscar Rebello, writing in the Herald. In targeting Oscar Rebello, Oscar Rebello admitted that he had "danced footsie" with the political establishment, the very political establishment he kept telling Goans he and his group were fighting against. So Admin F Noronha is, er, on target here. Now Dean D'Cruz: he was queried on Goanet about his conflict of interest - a practicing architect who sits on govt bodies crafting policies for his industry (the very industry that has wrecked Goa), and simultaneously occupies a front row seat in GBA. D'Cruz has thus far failed to provide an explanation for why his is not a conflict of interest. I think Admin Noronha can assist D'Cruz in formulating a response given Admin Noronha's intimate knowledge of what constitutes conflict of interest from his own personal experience. Heed the wise Admin Noronha's warnings about targets, fellow Goans, for Rome was once saved by the cackling of its faithful geese. Warm regards, r
