10 men traveling in two cars were arrested this afternoon in the robbery of the villas. Apparently they tied up the guard at 4:00 am and proceeded to kick in the doors of the rooms robbing 15 people in all. One tourist was chopped all over his head and body and is the one in the hospital. Let us hope for his sake and ours that he makes it.

JLP Standing Committee to meet again tonight. They have not spoken to the media today but most may have thrown their support behind Eddie but nothing is off the table.

Regardless of what we may think or feel about Eddie, one cannot but look on with sadness as a man who cast a very long shadow over Jamaicas political landscape, allows his legacy to be tarnished by a most inglorious exit... deep in debt, ill looking and, being asked to leave. I cant believe I am saying this but I feel sorry for him.
