    cover up, fact checking, private defense industry

    I knew this was becoming "political" when suddenly the papers weren't allowed to call it poisoning anymore -- I mean, even AP stopped for a while, before he died. Although they have started again now.

    What is up with the fact checking? Can't Salon find a real expert e.g. from a university instead of a mercenary? The private defense industry is such a scary place; who knows what spin is going on.
