I wondered what had become of this investigation. Thankfully the
investigators haven't been bribed off the case or killed, as I had
feared, although I suppose potential witnesses will never be entirely
safe..

I am saying that if we create an institution of
systematic violence, and hand it over to professional
liars, bad things are going to happen.
