Pat Robertson's letter to the editor refuting the allegations made against him in The Washington Post is posted online at Robertson's official site.

An editorial by The Perspective (Smyrna, Georgia) said that Robertson's letter is "full of self-serving innuendoes." The paper reported on the allegations against Robertson and his gold-mining operations in December.

A former U.S. deputy chief of missions wrote to The Washington Post and said that Robertson's letter displayed "unimaginable naivete."

The U.S. State Department's most recent human rights report said that the Liberian "government's human rights record remained poor, and there were numerous, serious abuses in many areas."

Aficana.com has a brief biography of Liberian President Charles Taylor.
