An apology to all our readers
In the super talk of the previous issue (Vol. 52), we welcomed our guest, former vice-minister for the Ministry of Defense, Takemasa Moriya; however, the mass media has reported on deepened distrust in regards with collusion between the Ministry of Defense and trading companies in the congress summons. The political world was shaken.
We are very sorry, but our purpose was to introduce the the role of the Ministry of Defense and its members, who, in earnest, strive to protect the safety of citizens and the international community. There were no ulterior motive in the recording of April 27th, 2007.
We humbly apologize for the discomfort given to all readers. We bow and ask for forgiveness.
Yours Sincerely
December 8th, 2007
