Do-gooders who go to a foreign lands and mettle with the profits of criminals (which may or may not have the unacknowledged blessing of high government officials) are taking a huge risk with their life.

Just the way it is.

East Africa can't be called "foreign" for Esmond Bradley Martin. Had the pleasure of meeting him many years ago in East Africa. He, Daniel Stiles and Julian Rademeyer have done a great job of gathering intelligence on illicit ivory and rhino horn trafficking.

But before the conspiracy theorists get too carried away, I may be wrong but I believe this is a lot more Joy Adamson/Joan Root/Dian Fossey than it is Wayne Lotter.

We'll have to see how the investigation plays out, but law and order and Kenya should not be used together in the same sentence.
