I'm with Trapido - We Want Full Disclosure on EVERYTHING

Er...not sure whether I understand the legal ping pong. I guess the game goes like this. "I'm guilty, but you're more guilty and I've done something else illegal - wiretapping - which proves you, you and you are guilty, plus I have dirt on this guy, and that guy. So let me off the hook and by so doing, let yourselves off the hook."
Make sense to you?
What the public MUST demand now is FULL unmitigated disclosure, to fully and finally settle this case. Let the light shine in all the dark places. I am not morally corrupt so why should I accept the weak splashing of a man drowning in his own deceits? You shouldn't too. If we do, this country will rot from the inside out and we have all worked, dreamed and prayed to hard for that to happen this late in the day! If you're a blogger, add your voice!

In other words regardless of the motives behind the case — political conspiracy included — if a case exists then the motive for bringing it becomes irrelevant. Yet everywhere I look the headlines are reading tapes will save Zuma. You’ve got me beat please explain why. A useful link for those interested in the tapes and their value is, as always, Professor Pierre de Vos.

As set out in this previous article there are basically three grounds upon which the NPA could consider dropping the charges:

1. After Zuma’s representations they consider the case unwinnable ; or
2. It is not in the public interest to proceed ; or
3. Zuma could not be given a fair trial as guaranteed in terms of the Constitution.

The question is: Why sit on the tapes?
