no—one from spear group has faced any criminal proceedings from their actions in yemen. ally of the us. did you know that after you left, the emirati forces that you trained, then trained yemenis to conduct assassinations? you train people, you give people a tool, and how they choose to use it is really not your responsibility. many of the names, if not most of the names, are people who have no terrorist connections whatsoever. what was the intel that you were provided with about ansaf mayo that made you think he was connected to terrorist organisations? i cannot go into the details of the intel. but he isn't a terrorist, is he? i mean, i've met him since. he is living in saudi arabia. he has taken part in the un peace process for yemen. which is fantastic. the very nature of intelligence gathering is that it's never 100% absolute. i had one more question for isaac. ansaf had told me he wanted to meet him. would you ever be open to meeting ansaf mayo? absolutely. it'd be intriguing. we waited, hoping isaac would turn up. he's on line, but he's not answering my call. the
