Man of Real Merit


"A good deed is never lost. He who sows courtesy, reaps friendship; 
he who plants kindness, gathers love; pleasure bestowed on a grateful mind was never sterile, but generally gratitude begets reward." 
-- St. Basil

towards a real humanity.” -- Nelson DeMille

Excerpts:

"The news reports have gone around world on the circumstances in the death of a US Naval officer in Police custody at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Metro Manila. Many wire agencies put the story into over 1400 newspapers and websites world wide."

"Mejia, and his shipmates are regularly tested and go through extensive screening by Navy and US customs as well as IRS officials to ensure that there are no personnel aboard who may be involved with the narcotics trade.

"Per the US SECNAV report to the US congress – the men and women assigned to anti-narcotics operations are those with no history of drug use or trafficking.

"Obviously this was something overlooked in many manila media reports – which – also did not take into consideration his rank. Lt Commander, which is the equivalent of a Major in the Army.

"Officers and men and women who serve on US ships, in particular those involved in counter drug efforts are among the most drug screened in the US law enforcement. Weekly random drug testing, and lifestyle checks on shore are common."
