    Sorry all, I just read GG's post from yesterday...

    See what happens when you miss a day? Glenn seems to have been on top of the social worker issue, like I should have wondered even.

    However, on the issue of whether there is a tendency to conspiracy theory here: I would counter that this is not nine eleven. The issue is not as emotionally loaded, and the government's own investigation has itself been put on display as a result of its own copious ineptitude. Not one, but two American citizens, in good standing till the day their lives were affected, have suffered while at the same time never having been charged with anything. Whether or not there was a conspiracy of any kind, that kind of performance by our country's national law enforcement body is simpy intolerable. If anything, any investigation should be focused on why and how the FBI so badly bungled the investigation and the individuals that were behind that bungling. As a result of that, I'm sure, many other details would come to light in any case.
