Agreed. I'm not trying to say that these were all deliberate. I'm saying
that there is enough suspicion to warrant an investigation. I am also
trying to dispel the idea that there is no basis for the government's
investigation and that it is all a political plot. People on this list seem
to see political conspiracies everywhere. Sometimes, things really are
simply as they appear.
