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.com/GerardMadden/4September2008/Email.htm
Best wishes,
William
(Finnerty).
