Rejoinder: CCC Election: An insider's perspective of the Mohiuddin collapse

We received the following from Mr. Mohibul Hassan through a mutual friend:
... pasted my entire note into your website. this was my personal note and was not meant for a website's cover story. without considering the ethics of putting something on a website without permission, that was unprofessional to the extreme!

and, when i meant utilising adminisitration i meant using them to catch the criminal elements of BNP-Jamaat! and when i meant muscle i meant our volunteer force who should have been pro active in bringing out the voters. if you the administration remains neautral and actually works thats what you call making use of them you dont need to use them like BNP jamaat uses them. but the fact is just the day before the election magistracy power has been seized. so the cash handlers could not even be punished despite being arrested.
Our response:
1. Mr. Hassan's note was on Facebook, and open for the whole world to see. Calling it "private" now is a bit too late. We also suspected that the note would disappear once we wrote about it, which is why we decided to reproduce it. Unprofessional? Why? We quoted it and gave full attribution to the author.

2. "administration" and "muscle": We are happy to include Mr. Hassan's explanation of those phrases. We only hope that as a lawyer and future leader, Mr. Hassan will choose his words more carefully in the future.

Lastly, our personal thanks to Mr. Hassan for his level-headed response.
