A Few Good Men

" In an evil regime such as ours, even a few good men are scared to testify."--Sen. Ping Lacson

What a way to tell it as it is, coming from Senator Panfilo "Ping" Lacson. He, along with Senator Aquilino Pimentel, are the only rational voices around here. Lacson hit the nail in the head when he said that.

The regime of Arroyo is the biggest terrorist this country ever had. Arroyo has abused her powers. She's using the powers of the state to harass, oppress, threaten and even kill her political detractors. Such abuse of power have worsened our lot and convinced many people to join the increasing insurgency.

Why is Arroyo's henchmen preventing witnesses about ZTE is beyond me. The solution to this problem is not terrorism. No. That is the most idiotic thing to do. Arroyo should allow witnesses to testify before the Senate since this issue is closed already. If the First Gentleman fears criminal prosecution, he should'nt because the deed was not consummated anyway. The palace thumbed the deal down. Probably, they already thought of other ways to reward ZTE for the mess, like using a local telco to present their proposal again. Anyway, all Philippine telcos have been using ZTE equipment since ten years ago, further proof that ZTE is a reputable company.

Arroyo should initiate the closure of these issues.
