>Dear Ko Aung Kyaw and Ko Zar Ni,

out

you
>say the news will not be reliable without saying the source exactly, do
>you think about those factors too. I can't provide security for them
>and so I can't tell their names. You will not even think to provide
the
>security. When ABSDF and all news groups sending out information under
>that circumfrence, that doesn't mean blackmail at all. Please make
sure
>you know what you are saying. I feel cold in my backbone when asked to
>identify the source. I am afraid of their security if I don't keep
>secret. Blackmail is defined that when someone is asking a demand in
>return for not disclosing information about something. I take
>responsibility over what I sent. I can prove and I have sufficient
>documents. However, you have the right to say that those are wrong or
>right. You didn't say anything that whether those were right or wrong.
>If you think you are sure those are wrong, you can post it on net and I
>will prove. I am writing with my penname and so are you. Well,
think
>whether your accusation is meanful or not. I am just wondering that
>accusing sending blackmail is a new means to stop others' opinion? Spy
>and then, blackmail! You hid your position in the guise of a supporter

couldn't

> First, I have to tell you that, I know what effects could

and

> I sent out those informations with the following

>I know and everyone knows that we have weakness but we never talked and

from

don't

like

my

I

and
