John, I'm the orginal skeptic of anything the govt. claims or wants. But
automatically believing anything you read online is a recipe for leading a
delusional life. This sort of report would have to be verified by a few
_reliable_ sources before I was likely to believe it: you know, real news
organizations.
Internet rumours should not be disseminated without verification.
