    Stupid! Who's asking you to juxtapose??? They asked about terrorism in general and asked about the gitmo guys separately. So why do you want to juxtapose for mischievous reasons. Foolish black folks. We all don't have sense. ...

    If you had kept your mouth shut in the first place, then you wouldn't have to come trying to clean up. The Benjamin guy just likes to insert himself crudely into purely internal national debates. It's not the first time.

  • Media Watchman 8 years ago

    with these kinds of fabrications? The Ghanaian media in particular and Africa in general are not reliable. The Daily Guide for instance and certain newspapers are nothing but thrash.
