We shall see...............Commission of Enquiry held its first meeting Thursday, next one January 17th. It agreed its agenda & appointed its committees of experts.

Certainly Aristy Castro is weighing in on this one; like many he is calling the water release criminal & asking why the Government functionaries 'closed their ears' to the advice of the technical people.

Now whether you call that 'deliberate' or not is debateable. If the hypothesis is 'did the President sit down & plan all this?' - probably not. Not too certain about some of his campaign organisers though................
It reminds me of a Roman Catholic childhood and having notions of 'culpable ignorance' instilled: i.e. lack of knowledge or understanding that results from the omission of ordinary care to acquire such knowledge or understanding. So in that sense if one is culpable when one has acted with indifference to consequences and to the rights of others, then something can be deliberate without being planned.
Interesting point RonS & thank you for raising it. Got me thinking.........
