Yeah, and she's a 6-footer, too!

From ABS-CBNNews.com:
'President Arroyo did not know of Smith's transfer'
Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita Sunday said President Arroyo has nothing to do with the abrupt transfer of convicted rapist Lance Corporal Daniel Smith to the US Embassy, ABS-CBN News reported.
Ermita said Mrs. Arroyo, who is at present in Baguio City with the Presidential Family, left the matter to the National Security Council.
He added that the council did not even inform Mrs. Arroyo its final decision to transfer Smith to US custody.
Ermita, however, admitted that Smith’s transfer will result in better RP-US relations.

Some points to ponder:
1.) That's what she claims. She had nothing to do with it... BS! But let's pretend, for the sake of argument, that she really didn't know anything about it. Mrs. Arroyo, if you had known, what would you have done?
2.) Ermita says, the transfer will result in better RP-US relations. How so, Mrs. Arroyo? Do you agree with Ermita on this?
3.) Mrs. Arroyo, don't you think that this is tantamount to washing your hands off on this one? Ah yes, I forget, you've had enough practice. Proof of this is Garci running for public office. What a joke!
4.) How can you, as the president of a republic, just leave such an important matter to the National Security Council and the DILG? May we know the reasons behind this? And why the National Security Council?
5.) Finally, Mrs. Arroyo, by virtue of your silence on this matter, you have practically let your countrymen down as you have virtually sided with the oppressor. Your comment, please?
