I agree with Aussie. No way we can lump Bemused in with the mob of male chauvinistic swine. Thank you Bemused for living above that.
I also agree with you Raz and have been sympathizing all along. I had been out of touch with this FE blog for about two and a half years. I had no idea till I began reading this blog again in March of this year that other investigations had started. I did keep wondering at first if GRACE was any longer part of the investigations. Now it is all too clear and I see that some of you did want Grace to investigate.
Sadly I have to say that there was no way on earth or in hades that ntm would use the services of Grace after the tremendous job they did with the Senegal investigation. It was non-biased and complete. Not influenced by ntm.
If I recall correctly and I am fairly certain I am recalling it right, this is what happened. Originally ntm had proposed using Grace to the Senegal mk's. After the Senegal mk's decided Grace was a good choice and I think my memory serves me correctly, ntm tried to get out of using them. Somehow they guessed that Grace was not going to be a wise choice for them , ntm.
So yes I hear you Raz. Any group that reports back to ntm is not non-biased, in my opinion.
I am very sorry indeed and I am sure there are disheartening times as you all wait now for your investigations and findings. I know one thing I have chosen to believe. Though it sounds so pathetic I am sure to the innocents whose lives were tainted and violated by selfish humans. And I am very sorry about that. I choose to believe that if ntm continues to get away with past crimes, that we are doing our best to protect lives of children now and in the future and are helping prevent future crimes. Case in point: Scott Kennell in his orange jump suit.
However as far as ntm and criminals paying for their past crimes, I often doubt and think they are going to get away with it here on earth. But woe to them when they stand before our Holy God. I trust His judgment and justice will not be so pleasant.
