Erroll 80 #1 November 3, 2003 Reading all the political debates on here, I am often amused by the arguments put forward by the participants to discredit one side or the other - important point scoring hits about politicians who "did not have sexual relations with that woman" or who "was a draft dodger" or who "didn't inhale" or who "claims he invented the Internet" or who "can't find the WMD's". If only our politicians has such serious flaws! The excerpts below (from The Sunday Times ) is about a guy that could be the new chief of police : "Of the six candidates short-listed for the job of Ekurhuleni Metro Police chief, Robert McBride is the only one with no policing experience. But the former bar bomber is the one who got the job." and "McBride, was released from death row in 1999 and was given amnesty by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission for his part in the bombings of Durban's Magoo's and Why Not bars in 1986. In 1999 he was cleared of charges, by Mozambican police, of gun-running. "His alleged gun-running experience is the closest thing that would qualify him for this job," said Waters. "The gravy train has stopped at the Ekurhuleni Metro train station and Robert McBride's on board. The ANC is giving jobs to pals again instead of thinking about the safety of its people. They are still rewarding him for the bombing at Magoo's Bar where three innocent people were killed." " No wonder there is so little debate here - whaht would be the point?
