As we came to later learn. He was given all the *data* and told to go to the UN. Some true some not. As a soldier he followed the orders of his commander in chief. The man himself said he suspected there were ulterior motives around but he did the job he was asked to do. And yes, soon left in disgust. In any case, may he RIP. JoeCamel 1 Awards
