Some people in this discussion assume that the principals of ESF could not
be forced to lie by the US government, under threat of lawsuits, financial
ruin, incarceration and not seeing their children grow up. I find this
assumption awfully naive.

I think it's unlikely that ESF was even asked to cooperate, but I don't
believe a denial is all that useful under the circumstances, and asking for
it again and again is obnoxious.
