IRRELEVANT, for now

There has been much ballyhoo whether Gracia Burnham cleared or implicated the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) regarding the alleged collusion with the Abu Sayyaf. For the moment, specifically for the on-going trial, I think that it is an irrelevant issue brought up by the defendants to cloud the on-going trial. Whether there was indeed a collusion between the AFP and the Abu Sayyaf does not prove or disprove the innocence or guilt of the suspected Abu Sayyaf members in this particular case. If indeed there was collusion between the AFP and the Abu Sayyaf, it does not make the Abu Sayyaf less guilty of what they did. Proving that the AFP had a hand in the crime that was committed does not make the crime less horrendous. Proving or disproving the AFP’s innocence is an important issue that should be discussed but should be saved for some other time, some other venue.
