Mr Lee Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 This online newspaper in its commentary seems to insinuate that the president of the Philippines and other high up government officials may be involved with the Abu Sayyaf and are possibly taking some of the ransoms paid for the kidnappings. I know one thing, the military higher ups must be involved in someway because it would be impossible for the Abu Sayyaf to continue to escape otherwise.So my question is, why the hell would a government allow kidnappings which makes them look bad, even if they get some money out of it? http://www.tribuneonline.org/commentary/20090402com1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, an appropriate followup question would be....Makes the govt. look bad to who? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
