My brother Ssemakula, to the question: >>Where and how have I considered, even remotely, that Ibingira is a just a short step away from sainthood?
The answer lies in: >>2. With regard to his credibility as a source of information about Obote's megalominiacal and insatiable hunger for power and the extents to which he is willing to go to achieve his personal goals, as well as the inner workings of the UPC, I stated that Ibingira was (a) a trained lawyer, (b) a former Secretary-General of the UPC, (c) a legal adviser to the UPC, and (d) a former cabinet minister in Obote's government. And the inference that given the above, whatever he says must be taken as gospel truth. But let's not get bogged down on a few semantic/technical details or interpretations such as this one. I am still waiting for the other beans so I can prepare the defence you asked me to. On a lighter note, those of us living outside the USA have the feeling that in the USA lawyers are quite low down in the credibility rankings, thanx to the many drams/sitcoms, it is therefore nice to know that your Ugandan upbringing has not coloured your view of lawyers, trained or otherwise. Best regards, Yoswa
