Recommendations for the region image-cleansing imperative

I insist that if indeed Khama committed crimes, the system should simply have gone for a head shot and if unsure, kept its guns in the holsters and done a thorough investigative job before going on the offensive.  Whether for President Khama is winning the legal battle is one thing. What is certain is that, he is winning the PR battle. The Blair report cannot be ignored. To be sure, there is credibility issue when a report commissioned by a man, exonerates him. But what other option did the man have? He could not have folded back his arms and accepted his fate.

The report has no evidence those it exonerates are innocent. What it does, however, is put the regime on the back-foot. They must credibly refute it blow-by-blow, come up with credible alternative facts, or it must be accepted as true. In lieu thereof, an apology would be due to General Khama, Colonel Isaac Kgosi and agent Butterfly. There is no other way.
