I heard you installment of Tuesday, February 15, 2011, in which you interviewed Mr. Cimmaron MARLIN on his experience of alleged police brutality.
During that installment you said something to the extent of ; Leopold JAMES 'got me to kill'.
My dear Mr. GIBBES.
I am actually not sure which Leopold JAMES 'got you to kill'.
But just for the record my dear friend; 'Not THIS Leopold JAMES for sure'.
As a matter of fact, I was extremely impressed-, and moved with the interview you had with Mr. MARLIN.
To me it was about the best-, and most appealing I have ever seen on the island.
In my humble opinion-, you should be highly recommended for how you hosted that particularly very sensitive installment.
It was done not only extremely professional by you Oral, but you really added a very special element to it with your entire 'body-language'.
You created a real atmosphere of trust, openness sincere interest and you were totally 'non-judgemental'.
As result, you allowed for your guest to be at ease so that he although still traumatized by the experience, to be very composed and articiulate, which is the way he naturally really is.
I publicly commend you for that Oral and rank that interview at the level of a 'Larry King'!
Now as it relates to you believing that 'Leopold JAMES has me to kill'.
The reason that I wrote you that critical letter open letter on February 8, 2011, was simply because I did not-, and still do not agree with you actually cutting off your program before the end, because you did not agree with your guest, Eldrige van PUTTEN.
I felt-, and still feel that that is not only disrespectful towards any guest, but also to your viewers, who were denied the opportunity to hear the 'whole story' for themselves and to consequently be able to draw their own conclusions at the end.
That was all my friend.
Nothing personal against you.
Why should I have to have anything personal against you ?
As a matter of fact, I agree with you 'pressuring' Eldrige to explain his 'close (unconditional ?) friendship' with some-one, allegedly also contributing towards the failing of the island's leadership.
I even personally told Eldrige that after the program and he did not exactly agree with me on that.
So, we must not always jump to conclusions and judge others.
And I, Leopold JAMES am not to 'big' to publicly state that such certainly applies to me as well.
Oral, I will never forget that you indeed on many occasions 'took risks' by affording and 'evil-,radical crazy man as me' the opportunity to be on your program.
I am certainly grateful to you for that.
However, as every coin also has at least two sides, I too went against the advice of many to go on your program and to afford you the privilege of interviewing me as well.
You see Oral, while on the 'Friendly island', certain people might not appreciate me, there are many abroad as well who would not 'blink' affording one with my intelligence-, professional background and character the opportunity to reach the top in their own country.
Of course, you should not believe me for second.
With dues respect, just wait until your own daughter, who is a brilliant, ambitious, intelligent young lady finishes her law-degree in the Netherlands decides to come back home, with a mind of her own.
In ending my good friend Oral, Keep up the good work and God bless bless you my friend.
I know that its is impossible to please the 'whole world', so who the 'heck' Leopold thinks he is ?
Love you still brother,
Leopold JAMES
