Ed, I would not rule anything out, yet.
It is known that some "LRA SECRETARIAT" signed from Sweden during the period 1997-1999. It seems the same so called "LRA SECRETARIAT" now masquerades as the best peace Samaritan these days, running to SIDA, AMNESTY, UD etc.
I have always wondered why despite ANTI -LRA pronouncements from the FDC, certain FDC elements have under the surface, continued to tickle LRA Cheerbencher's back.
For not so long ago, a certain gentleman hinted to them that he had direct access to the LRA top hierarchy. Lord, you should have seen the commotion!
Mobile and mobile satellite phones toasted like no body's business as the same perspired. It has never been known if indeed he did connect them. But gosh, the sensation shone on their faces.
So, let me join you in saving for the last laugh.

Might Kiiza Besigye in a bigger picture be a Movement Mole planted to prove that the Movement is democratic? Can this be to prove that Uganda courts are independent from the government?
Let us watch as these cases continue but one can not help but wonder if this government is this silly to bring such witnesses if Besigye was their interest. A man who went to exile but his wife kept on flying to meet him over and over, he ran out of Uganda and came back, when he was arrested he ordered for his suits so that he can take the nomination pictures from the jail, his wife got a job in the African Parliament as an MP, not very many Ugandans against Museveni get these rights.
When one looks on the rape charge, one can not wonder whether those are the best witnesses the state had to offer.
Just wondering out
loud.

"The woman said she resides between Kyebando and Mulago, a Kampala suburbs and that she sells maize in Owino Market."
If I were a Judge , I would very much question This Ms. Areymo's credibility!!!
This is woman who sells maize at Owino market.she knows not when the said meeting between DR. Bwesigye and "LRA Cammander" took place?...This is another one of those ms. what her name.. the lady who accussed bwesigye of RAPE!kind of tricks.. I would not be terrible suprise if it turns out that Ms. Ayremo's testiment in court as noted below was very much influence by Yoweri Museveni's State House. Perhaps the lady has already obtained "KITU KIDOGO" from under the table for her testiment!!

Uganda: I Connected Besigye to Kony, Says Witness
The Monitor (Kampala) April 6, 2006 Posted to the web April 5, 2006Solomon Muyita & Hussein Bogere Kampala A FORMER female combatant with Joseph Kony's Lords Resistance Army (LRA) yesterday told the High Court that she helped Dr Kizza Besigye establish links with the rebels in northern Uganda. Jennifer Aryemo, 34, whom the State produced as its first witness in the treason case against the FDC leader and 22 other men said Dr Besigye contacted her soon after the 2001 presidential elections through a one Maj. Salambwa. The lean-bodied woman, who testified in a tough tone in Acholi, claimed that she met several LRA commanders on many occasions to link Besigye with Kony. The meetings were held in the bushes of Gulu with Aryemo,
who allegedly kept returning to Kampala together with Salambwa and a one Migadde to brief Besigye on the progress. At one such meeting held in Pawel, one grenade and one landmine were given to Maj Salambwa by a one Onen Kamdur to take to Besigye as proof that the LRA had weapons. The witness told court she did not know the whereabouts of the two pieces of ammunition. Aryemo also told court that one of Kony's commanders, George Abedo, met with Besigye at his Bukoto office. In all, Aryemo met with the LRA commanders on three occasions. The former captive said that she had earlier on been recruited into Besigye's then Reform Agenda pressure group as a campaign manager among the Acholis in Makindye, Kampala by James Opoka. Aryemo, said to be Col Fearless Obwoya's wife, told court that Maj. Salambwa took her to meet Besigye, in a meeting at Crest House in Kampala. She said there were seven people at the meeting, including Ms Anne Mugisha, and a one Byaruhanga. She could not remember the exact time of the meeting, the day or the month, except that it was during the day and shortly after the March 2001 elections "Dr Besigye told me that the elections had not been fair, they had been rigged. He said he would take the government to court and that he would fight against the government using guns," she claimed. The witness said she is personally known to Kony, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes, and most of his top commanders. "I knew these commanders when we were captured from Sacred Heart Senior Secondary School in Gulu in 1991," she said, adding that she was in Senior Four at the time. She said while in the bush, she participated in rebel operations, and remembers times
when she and her colleagues were ordered to hack people with machetes "which traumatized me so much." Said the witness: "I saw many SMGs, grenades, G2s. The G2 is a big gun and is used with chains of bullets wrapped all over the body," she said. The witness said she lived in the bush for three months but escaped around December 1991 and returned home. The woman said she resides between Kyebando and Mulago, a Kampala suburbs and that she sells maize in Owino Market.
Proceedings were temporarily halted when Aryemo failed to return to court after lunch. The Judge warned Byabakama that he should advise his witness to get serious. Aryemo re-appeared after 10 minutes of adjournment. Having finished with her testimony, Aryemo will return on Monday for cross-examination by Besigye's lawyers.
