MR MALAN
Secondly, and this is my question.  When you spoke to Taylor, could you not seriously discuss with him what are our alternatives?   You said to him and you knew that if you used informers in order to arrest a person, you cannot compromise them, so you cannot release him.
	You did not consider to use him as an informer or to recruit him, so why  would you go through this whole thing with Taylor, as you described on page 9 like an extensive exercise.  You can look on page 27 of your application, me and Colonel Taylor discussed the following options about him.
