-Neverfly- Well _that's_ a hoot!
Witholding information for political expedience is nothing new, but it doesn't add up to a full-blown paranoid's conspiracy. I'm beginning to get the notion that the thing to do is to make the Hale information readily available now via personal contacts and weblogs like this so when the gubbermint finally pops the cork the psychological fallout on the populace will be a bit more gentle.
I'd like to put together a powerpoint presentation about Hale and all this (excluding the politix) and begin circulating it at the Scientific Cafes that are held here in Mexico in all the major cities once a month.
