MR WEBSTER
Why didn't you get confirmation of the whereabouts of the people who were supposed to execute the dangerous duty?"
Page 650 and I think this is the passage,
"I can't remember whether they were communicating with me, that I told them where we were.  Things happened - and it says carefully it should read quickly, I submit.  At that stage everybody is talking on the radio at that stage and we were dealing with an operation where we wanted to arrest suspect terrorists and we wanted to get hold of them some or other way"
and on reading this passage, Chairperson, I must concede that one interpretation which cannot be faulted is that Steyn was in fact in radio communication with the Task Force.  I must be honest with you, I didn't understand his evidence to mean that, because the way I understood it to be is that on the radio there were people talking, I didn't believe he was referring to the Task Force, but I readily concede that it might be, but the submission which I made in this regard Chairperson, still holds water.  It couldn't be expected of Steyn at that stage to say:  "Let's wait for the Task Force, or Breytenbach, please give me authority to act."
