When all its work is done, the lie shall rot;
The truth is great, and shall prevail,
When none cares whether it prevail or not.
~Coventry Patmore
Dear Freedom,
I have been reading you for the past month and a half, logging on every day to see the latest blaring headlines, and occasionally not turning off your online radio broadcast when it comes on automatically. Six weeks of giving you the benefit of the doubt, casting aside all my preconceived notions of you and trying to read you as you mean yourself to be read: as a newspaper out to achieve press freedom and keep an eye on the Government, in order to bring about change in Gambia. And the results are not very impressive.
You never did learn diplomacy - this much was evident right from the beginning of my reading.
