So negative

I CONGRATULATE the Commissioner for Correctional Services Mr Eric McCosh on the successful completion of his operation at Whitehead Detention Centre on the morning of April 7.

It is a pity that the South China Morning Post editorial of April 8, could do little more than find fault with the above operation.

Perhaps the Post could shed some light on how the operation should have been carried out, or would that be asking too much . . . sticking one's neck out! A. CROWTHER Kowloon
