If he was deluded in this, then it was his legal team's responsibility to disabuse him.

We all owe Prof Black a great vote of thanks for providing this excellent forum amid the bias, bigotry and political hackery of the national and international media. We can get to the truth.Akuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03594021950952932977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073021351804532798.post-30357086554300657282009-08-21T00:56:21.519+01:002009-08-21T00:56:21.519+01:00I agree.
