Bruce, you have lost the moral authority to speak on moral authority.

When you have told us who paid Manatt, and explained why so many Jamaicans had to die for Dudus, then come back to us about moral authority.

And, running over people's feet is also abuse!

I think he should wait so he may have an informed opinion.The US Intelligence plane requested by the commissioner of the JCF assisted by providing arial video and communication surveillance,the latter is root of the controversy.
Furthermore,no official Govt request was made for......
This is going to get nasty.

Former Prime Minister Bruce Golding has come out swinging against the United States, declaring that nation lacks the moral authority to cite human-rights abuses as reasons to withdraw support to the Jamaican security forces.

Golding said there was no evidence that outgoing Police Commissioner Owen Ellington was involved in such abuses or failed to take action against those who carried out extrajudicial activities.

Speaking yesterday on Power 106 FM radio talk show, 'Cliff Hughes On-line', the former prime minister said the US has a long history of carrying out heinous actions against other countries which are tantamount to human rights abuses.

Referring to the US as a country that has reserved on to itself "the right to dispatch drones to go and extrajudicially kill persons who it alleges to be terrorists and in the process kill civilians including children", Golding said the US has no basis to lambaste other countries for alleged human-rights violations.

Golding stressed that these violations have largely gone unpunished.

"The numbers vary, but they have ranged between 200 and up to 1,000 persons who have been killed by drone strikes, these persons were never given their day in court, never able to say 'no, is mistake yuh mek, is not true'," Golding stated.

He queried further; "what right does that country have to talk to anybody else or any other country about extrajudicial killings?"

Golding said he was concerned that the international community has been silent on the recent drone strikes by the US in areas said to be linked to terrorist activities.

"The international community has sat by and said nothing and done nothing. And then they come and tell Jamaica that 'you must remove your commissioner because we have reason to believe that the police are involved in extrajudicial killings'," he scoffed.

He said he did not support extrajudicial killings, whether in Jamaica or elsewhere.

It's pretty clear that the timing is related to Ellington's expulsion AKA resignation

Personally speaking,I do not think it has anything to do with the issue of COP resigning,I think it is a convenient opportunity for Bruce to take a swipe at the US because of strained relationship... over the Dudus drama.
He had no foundation to do it then and is still without ample reason to do it now.I think he made a HUGE mistake injecting himself in this mess.

[Rockman]

Lazie,the COP will be judged base on how well he facilitates the investigation into the Clarendon Death Squad,nothing definitive as yet, ergo that is not the reason...
The US has the evidence that something faaar more sinister occured,they refuse to hand over it but will act on aspects...
You can tan deh tink de people dem ago send dem nice nice plane fi do "fly-overs".
What you need to ask yourself is why a plane and not a helicopter?

[Plush]

Wat a thing. US a support Jalandhar Java tell US them NUh have no moral authority to stop the support. Hold on.....dem really haffi have a good reason fi cut them support....a who fa money? A wen US breed and give birth to JA.....and JA nuh ova 50....not lie dem a teenager... I really haffi laugh

Waco is one of many instances revealing the hypocrisy....,I am always interested in the why...
That determines motive which means everything.In other words,objection(well of sorts)would not have been vioced had it not been for vested interest.
Bruce,I would say,had a handful of years before timely revelations would be leaked,we can now expect riveting movement within a year.
