Below are excerpts from online readers reacting to Sunday's lead story of Security Minister Dwight Nelson seeking to invoke the Official Secrets Act in relation to Rear Admiral Hardley Lewin.

INVESTIGATE CHARGES

A more prudent response from Dwight Nelson would be for him to call for an independent investigation immediately and step aside pending its conclusion. To do anything less, would kill every ounce of credibility this government has, assuming there is any left.

NOT CREDIBLE

A government that is not credible cannot lead. Any progress in reducing crime will be short-lived. It is unfortunate that the alternative party is not credible either. Our country sorely needs constitutional changes that will hold public servants accountable. It is evident that the JLP cannot survive past 2012. What will happen then?

CONTRADICTIONS

It's funny that the security minister should be trying to do this to Admiral Lewin, especially with the pending whistle-blower legislation being heavily promoted by the JLP

- Not Convinced
