How come you can call Pombo corrupt, which seems accurate; but, didn’t like me bringing up the truth about CUT?
I think you were the person who made some charges about CUT, and I deleted them.
Anyone who has a blog has to be concerned about a liable suit. You can legally say just about anything about Pombo, Clinton, Bush, Jerry Falwell, about anyone who is deemed a public figure.
This is not necessarily so about a religious cult. You (or someone) made very specific charges, which may or may not be true, and it was prudent for me to delete them.
This should not be interpreted as prejudice in favor of CUT. If you have information, you will have to take it somewhere else for a hearing.
