Well, what's the point of investigation if we are already supposed to make judgment without it?
I'd err on the side of caution in cases like this, since nothing is gained by haste. One, if it is true, there's nothing we can do about it _immediately_, since it's happening halfway around the world, and we are not funding the CPN(M). Two, if it is false, our acting as if it were true does damage to the Nepalese, including the gay and lesbian Nepalese. -- Yoshie <http://montages.blogspot.com/> <http://mrzine.org> <http://monthlyreview.org/>
