Why is it that every PLP supporter is calling anyone that disagrees with the government's handling of this matter and anyone that reports anything on this matter a traitor.

Amnesty international has already provided comment on this matter and has expressed disappointment in the government by sending so of the detainees home before the group could be interviewed. But remember Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition was branded as unpatriotic for even asking if the government was trying to cover anything up on this matter. Listened to the talk show stations and I am sure during a news break it was indicated that none of the officers in this case were placed on leave until the outcome of the investigation.

I am Bahamian first and anything last. Nelson Mandela is always prevalent as he fought and paid a true price for freedom. This crazy ideal of taking up for an injustice that occurred is not right no matter who perpetrated the wrong.

Why are calling anyone traitors if what they are saying may be truthful and has not been investigated to be found to be lies. I have seen people calling Mr. Sanchez a person with a criminal record on some of these blogs, however every freedom fighter can be branded a criminal if their actions are not supported by their government, Nelson Mandela is a prime example, he spent 20 years in prison for his cause.

On July 18th, the day before this report date minister Mitchell is reported in a Tribune article titled "Fred Mitchell: Defends nation`s reputation ahead of Cuban protests", the good minister is reported as saying "people are not beaten".

What is most troubling about this whole incident is how it is dividing the Bahamian people. It appears that the undeniable truth is that something did occur at the detention centre. Whether Rory or Tal choose to accept this as a fact is not for me to decide, but ignoring this simple fact will not change what has already transpired. The video has already been declared by all parties to be a fraud, but according to the leaked report the video was based on real events. It is now time to reveal all the facts of this case and if is found that the good minister did mislead the nation, even with his big words and brow beating of the opposition, he should be fired.

When this whole incident started, I had no intention to comment as this was a whole sad state of affairs. However, whether you are PLP or FNM you should not condone the ill treatment of detainees in the Bahamas. The government from the start of this ordeal treated it with total missteps. Instead of attacking everyone that dared to contradict their authority, should have simply stated what they knew to be the whole truth and as Minister Mitchell said let the chips fall where they may. But in a truely brutish fashion, the foreign minister tried to silence every critic, even claiming Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition of siding the enemies of the Bahamas. To this day I still can't fully understand who these enemies are, as we have worked in amnesty with the USA, Cuba and Cubian Americans.

@Tal your dripple always tickles me. Okay, so the FNM was the government for 5 of the last 6 year. Since you like numbers so much, let be give you some and we will see how it works out:
The PLP was the government 6 of the last 11 years.
The PLP was the government for 31 of the last 46 years.
