Charles Ghankay Taylor
Currently chilling with the best barristers that stolen millions can buy at the Special Court for Sierra Leone in the Hague. In fact, Ghankay is in very good company, Courtenay Griffiths QC, friend to IRA bombers will be doing the defending and if Charlie needs some company, he can always compare notes with his butchering neighbour - Radovan K.
Charlie, it's claimed, encouraged his death squads to eat the enemy, very nice with a bit of salt and pepper, according to Joseph "Zigzag" Marzah, Charlie's right-hand man. (Ed. He's lucky to still have a right hand doing business with the United Revolutionary Front). Zigzag is currently stooging for the prosecution at Charlie's trial and we expect him to lose more than a hand soon - Charlie is a 'made man' and well connected.
Charlie took on the name Ghankay in an effort to appear a bit more African and a bit less American but we know he was always more down with the home boys and soul food in preference to all that dancing with antilopes that some of your more indigenous types go in for. He was educated in the US, banks all his stolen money there and has even had a spell in a US pen' - from which he somehow managed to escape and reappear in Liberia to overthrow his mentor Sam Doe, who the American's were not happy with?
We like our sponsors to share their philosophical outlook with us, so we asked the great showman for a comment:
"They say I'm a killer. But I say, Jesus Christ killed a lot of people too."
"And thanks to Blast-It for clarifying my madness for me".
