“The search for the ballot boxes (in ampatuanâ€™s safekeeping) is wrought with legal impediments hence ML proclamation”

This is probable but Ampatuan Sr could have leaked the story when he fell out of graces from his master. He is facing life in prison and yet he is tightlipped about the fraudulent ballots his resources made for the President in 2004.

Soldiers are not trained in gathering evidences. Philippines has exchange program with the US FBI having batches of superintendents send annually to the US at Los Angeles to undergo forensics with both LAPD and the FBI.

The program also prioritize police batches from Mindanao where US has pour support both in USAID (airport that could land an airbus, etc) and military assets.

Understandably, the police officers were having nightmares when police logistics were short during the state of emergency at Maguindanao compounded with the military running the operation and more soldiers reaching the evidences first than the PNP.

with the all due recognition to the efforts of our soldiers and our police force,but all will be wasted because of the poisoned tree doctrine.

“Bert, except itâ€™s quite possible itâ€™s the President who thought it up…”

The security cluster has reached its objectives (apprehensions of key suspects and witnesses, secured vital evidences, recovery of large cache of ammos, neutralized armed threats and filing of charges) in 8 days.

Actually Del Mar has provided the clue when he said that lifting will be made that night.

My barberâ€™s conclusion (as he was able to analyze Sen. Biazonâ€™s line of questioning):

The search for the ballot boxes (in ampatuanâ€™s safekeeping) is wrought with legal impediments hence ML proclamation.

Finding none (just worthless* materiel), ML was lifted.

*Evidences that are possibly inadmissible in court

well, it’s probable that most will utter “all’s well that ends well.”

ML lifted…

it came ahead of the expected medical bulletin from St. Luke’s re: gloria’s check-up.

do we expect a “back-to-back good news” or the most often scenario of a “good news first, bad news later?”

Bert, except it’s quite possible it’s the President who thought it up, remember, Gonzales and Puno were pushing another tune and were caught off guard with ML.
