Dear Bosco, As your message quotes Cornel's message - I suggest that there now is full disclosure.
Who are these folks that Cornel confirmed what with? What harm did they suffer? As they were in Mombasa i.e. (British) East Africa at the time ...did they file a case in police/court? What was the nature of their activity? Would they come out and post themselves on GoaNet or do they wish Cornel to be their trusted advocate? I say this without knowing the late gentleman nor the "family" Cornel refers to, BUT I have a fair idea how these things go. Unless full disclosure is available, one never knows the entire truth and one gets one sided allegations. For instance: 1. Was Telo Mascarenhas a Goa Freedom Fighter? 2. On what basis? 3 Why was he arrested and hauled into court? 4. Was Mohan Ranade a Goa Freedom Fighter? 5. On what basis? 6. Was Dayanand Bandodkar a Goa Freedom Fighter? 7. On what basis? This is why, in certain disciplines, we have Differential Diagnosis, while in others, there is Cross Examination. Otherwise, there are folks who will just jump up and down and say that Rajan Parrikar said that "Goan Hindus do not eat fish" or that "MBBS is a walk in the park" .....and then just deny that they said anything like that just like they did with another situation (vide infra) good wishes jc -- Cornel wrote on Jun 14, 2006 http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2006-June/044557.html your(jc's) claim that Goa needed Portugal to protect it from fellow Indians. When challenged to prove that jc even dreamt the above nonsense ........On Jan 15, 2007 Cornel denies that he wrote the above: I never said as you (jc) impute, that you Jose Colaco said that Goans needed the Portuguese to protect them from the Indians. ----
