Dear Gerry,Thank you for your e-mail
dated September 2nd 2008. The "machine gun"
incident with the police last Sunday (at my
Greencastle home) was indeed "deeply unsettling" for
me, as you have put it. Among other things, it
has left me with the feeling that the Northern Ireland
Police possibly believe the best way to deal with the
extremely serious set of closely related issues I
wrote to Prime Minister Brian Cowan TD (Republic of
Ireland) about on May 9th last, is to "shoot the
messenger". The text of my letter dated May
9th 2008 to Prime Minister Cowan TD can be viewed
at: http://www.humanrightsireland.
com/PrimeMinisterCowen/9May2008/Email.
htm . Please note that scanned
copies of the Post Office receipts relating to this
letter have also been added to the page at the above
Internet address. All things considered, and
with due regard for the fact that I have so far heard
nothing from Chief Inspector Michael Winters (Omagh
Police Station) regarding the reasons (from his
perspective) for last Sunday's "machine gun"
interview, I feel it is best for me to cancel the
meeting you have kindly offered me for 11 am this
morning. I've also decided that I now need to
make a fresh start at getting the medical help I need
(relating to the C-PTSD and prostate cancer matters);
and, that in order to set about this process in an
efficient manner, the first thing I need to have is a
written reply to the three questions I raised with Dr
Thomas Foster (Consultant Psychiatrist) in my letter
to him dated August 11th 2008. A copy of the
text of the letter in question, together with scanned
copies of the associated Post Office receipts, can be
viewed at http://www.humanrightsireland.
com/DrThomasFoster/11August2008/Letter.htm . Up to the time I left
my home in Greencastle last Monday (at 11.30 am),
please note that I had not received any reply from Dr
Foster. As I have no plans to return to my home
in Greencastle -- while the very clearly and
stridently stated threat of the police to arrest me is
extant -- please note there is no point in writing to
me at my Greencastle address. Consequently, I
would be very grateful if you (or Dr Foster) could
please e-mail me the answers to the three questions as
soon as you reasonably can. I look forward to
hearing from you again. For future reference
purposes, I intend to place a copy of this e-mail at
the following address later today: http://www.humanrightsireland.
