NO SHOOTOUT INDEED BUT A RUBOUT

     Senator Panfilo Lacson of the infamous Kuratong Baleleng massacre spoke too soon on the Atimonan, Quezon killing of 13 cops and soldiers including several civilians on January 6. He said those killed were guns-for hire and alleged criminals.It turned out that some of those killed were innocent civilians who hitched a ride on the vehicles whose riders included the "jueteng" lord and his bodyguards (cops and soldiers who were also slain?) in what was reported first as a shootout.

     The truth will always come out, as in the case of the Mindanao massacre of journalists and Muslim politicians. Some witnesses are bound to show up and dispute statements and allegations.
