For a criminal pretty sure that he was not seen or has not left any evidence at the crime scene, perhaps may not see any reason to try to conceal evidence or hide the weapons he might possess. He might not perhaps see either any reason in burying his weapons out in the woods and even if he did so in keeping the chart showing the place where he buried his weapons behind his back.
However, if the "criminal" is a former chief of the Gendarmerie intelligence, has been implicated in a crime more than six months ago and has been on the run since then, is there any meaning for him to hide at his home, or at the home of his daughter, illegal voice and visual recording cassettes and discs, sketches?
Right, one would say if that former intelligence chief was so foolish to believe that by growing a beard and putting on civilian clothes could help conceal his identity, he indeed might have such an odd behavioral pattern as well.
Were the evidence "captured" by police in raids on homes and offices of some opponents of the Justice and Development Party, or AKP, planted by police itself -- as alleged by most of the people facing the in-prison tribunal at Silivri -- or were the mostly geriatric group of people accused of trying to plot a military coup were so confident of success that they played it so open?
More so, if this entire "Ergenekon Terror Gang" probe is, as alleged, an effort to eradicate the "Eurasianist wing" of the Turkish Gladio, can the Ergenekon trial be considered as an effort to liquidate that secret organization? If so, can we assume that the Ergenekon was just a "nationalist, patriotic and Kemalist" establishment? Could it not have an Islamist wing? If not, why do we read about allegations since late 1990s that there is an Islamist advance particularly in police? Is it wrong that some 65 percent of the overall police force and almost the entire police intelligence have become followers of the Fethullah Gülen hodja -- the Turkish version of Ayetollah Khomeini of Iran who since the1997 February 28 process forced Necmettin Erbakan, the first-ever Islamist premier of the country, to step down has been living in the United States?
Who Can stage a coup?
Or, will it be true to believe that only the military can stage a military coup in a country? Is it not possible, for example, to have a coup by the police force? Or, can we assume for one second that we might be all fooled and forced to believe that there was a coup plot by some geriatric nationalists, patriots and Kemalists who somehow get hold of few boxes of hand grenades, some rockets and some rifles while indeed there might be a coup underway by the Islamist government and the police elements loyal to the Fethullah hodja -- a phenomenon some people prefer to refer to as "F-type organization within police" -- and some prosecutors who subscribe the same political Islam ideology help success of that coup plan by silencing the opposition through creating an atmosphere of fear by sending behind bars some prominent secularist, Kemalist and patriotic names?
Indeed, with the Ergenekon detentions, house and office searches the society was made paranoiac. People involved in politics, who contribute to politics with their ideas, civilian and military bureaucracy, academicians have all started to feel that there is a revanchist drive underway against the democratic, secular, modern republic and even if the AKP government might not be actively involved in this campaign of the Fethullah Gülen brotherhood, seeing that developments indeed help it promote its ideology in the governance of the country, is sitting back and enjoying the persecution of its opponents.
Was it possible in any country to have four-hour-long satellite live interview with a fugitive criminal on the official state TV channel? Was it possible in any country to allow a fugitive criminal accuse the main opposition party of being "brave thieves party" and name several former top generals as members of the top council of the Ergenekon gang? Was it possible for the state TV to allow a criminal issue a blackmail message against some top businessmen, journalists and academics?
Could such a broadcast by the state TV be considered a journalistic success or the state TV channel being converted into yet another battle ground of the revanchist campaign against the secular republic?
Really, was the "Ergenekon gang" composed of only secularists?
