I wrote as a patriot

Oct 28, 2009 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,
I refer to the letter of the Honourable and Learned Mr. Charles R. Ramson S.C., M.P, Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs, hereinafter referred to as “The Honourable Attorney General”, set out at p.5 of the Kaieteur News of October, 27, 2009.
The Honourable Attorney General’s reference to, “…… I knew my onions….. “ reminds me of the calypso by Lord Nelson.
The argumentum ad hominem is a refuge of those who have a congenital paucity of thought and those who are strangers to logic.
I wrote as a patriot. The letter page is not the place to demonstrate scholarship or as to who is “belatedly matriculated”.
I still urge the Honourable President to advise himself as to how the identical lacuna in the United Kingdom/U.S.A Treaty was rectified. Or is it that the lineal descendants of slaves and indentures are to accept less?
I did not draw a conclusion. I stated a conclusion.
I await the next extradition hearing. Perhaps the Honourable Attorney General would appear in person, then I am sure he would demonstrate to all the scholar he is.
I am of the humble view that Professor Peter Britton S.C. won King. The written decision is a permanent indictment on those who sat and those who follow.
It is not without moment that the young, versatile and able Ian Chang represented the State in King.
On the issue of whether King is a precedent, the interpretation of every treaty is a question of fact. If the Court of Appeal finds as a fact that snow fell in Georgetown on October, 27th, 2009, in the hot midday sun, is a subsequent court bound by that finding of fact?
V.V. Puran
Attorney-at-Law
