Circumspection does not appeal to Dr. Rowley.
That the Opposition forms part of Government, to act as its conscience, guide and even mentor through dangerous seas with honourable criticism and elevated reprimand does not inform Dr. Rowley’s thinking.
Clearly the option to declare a state of emergency was considered by the cabinet in which Dr. Rowley had served, having been so advised by the Gordon Commission into crime. An SoE was never an outlandish concept breaching our Constitution, but a tool for preserving our democracy in challenging circumstances. It was a tool used by earlier administrations for both similar and lesser challenges.
Upon the declaration of the present SoE, only one unfamiliar with our history and rampant crime records could have protested in the manner of the Opposition.

For the three months of its duration, that resistance to the SoE has hardened to the point where the Leader of the Opposition now appears to have compromised information he received in a confidential conferencing with National Security and while the earlier protestations were in favour of criminal elements, the present alignment is with vastly more sinister operatives.
That the US authorities have confirmed the present threat to national security and that our own N.S. personnel have informed him confidentially have not served to mitigate Dr. Rowley’s position, and his public demands to free the detainees appears as deliberate sabotage against our national welfare. His conscious alignment with the unholy paints him with a treasonous brush.
By releasing a dissenting document, he may also have interfered with an incipient prosecution which may bring benefit to later accused.
Dr. Rowley has moved seamlessly from his knotty tie molehill, to buttressing an underworld of criminality. But one recalls that his former relentless leader was of the view that he belonged to that netherworld.
The enormity of Dr. Rowley’s open support of detained anti national suspects would justify his own detention, but he knows that political persecution charges would descend upon the Government in that event.

The government may have to resort to an injunction to silence him effectively, on the basis that he is endangering National Security.
