[lbo-talk] McKinney never said it

No, not good enough Shane. We can fairly presume that the USG is Up To No Good, and that its lying if its lips are moving. But the difference between healthy suspicion and crackpottery is that the former does not entail giving even a little antecedent credibility to unproven specific charges. Without at least probable cause, we don't even say such things if we want to remain sane and moderately credible. It's part of the higher standards imposed on our side by the fact that we lack power. jks
