There is no honor among thieves. Right on the heels of the night of long knives in Congress came the morning of vultures in the Senate. Abalos, Lozada, and even some senators are nothing more than carrion eaters looking to pick scraps of flesh from the carcass of the Philippines. Everyone has an angle. The Philippines is not even a democracy anymore but a corrupt bureaucracy that exists only to perpetuate itself; the rule of law be damned.
With regard to Lozada, I don't view him as a hero. He is nothing but an imported goat loving Judas who betrayed his masters to save his own skin. He should be prosecuted for graft and corruption immediately as he has already extrajudicially admitted his guilt under questioning from Senator Miriam Santiago.
Aside from kidnapping, what crime did the alleged "PSG" men commit? The men who "abducted" Lozada were caught on CCTV. Aside from kidnapping, they committed unauthorized access. Wiretapping might be unavailing, as Prof Avena taught us that wiretapping requires that a wire be tapped. The interception of text messages did not involve any physical tapping of wires.
