Further on the question regarding possession of paintings, as I'm sure you
all know, president's customarily receive gifts at various points, either at
inauguration, or in an exchange of gifts with diplomats or others, or for
one's birthday (he did have one birthday in office before the coup).
However, these remarks (on list and off) are only a distraction from the real
question at hand which is the character of Garrison. Again, has everyone gone
mad?  Is it not wrong to steal someone else's personal belongings?  Even
worse, to horde them and show them off to journalists!  Reminds me of the
"trophy" photos FRAPH would display in their offices of their tortured,
mutalated victims.
