Al-Addiyar highlighted some question marks about the motives behind the secrecy surrounded the letter and its contents, and asked:

1- Why was the reticence on the subject of the letter from Siniora's side?

2- Why was not the letter sent through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?

3- Why was the letter sent through the General Secretariat of the Council of Ministers?

4- Why was the letter sent without the knowledge of the Presidency and the Cabinet, which had not been informed about the letter to discuss it while the letter was sent on behalf of Lebanon to the United Nations?

5- Why did the UN Secretary-General refuse to disclose the contents of this letter in the press conference he held in New York?

6- Why did the UN Secretary-General request from the Lebanese government to take the needed measures for the letter?s ratification according to the constitutional procedures in Lebanon?
