Sorry, AC, but I have a bias against statements of such certainty as zero probability. I spent too much time on graduate degrees in mathematics with minors in physics to feel comfortable with certainty assertions such as probability zero. Actually read more books than watch movies. Maybe you can suggest some to feed my paranoia to your modest amusement. I do remember one back in the 70's, a book called "Five Days of the Condor" that was quite intriguing and which Robert Redford did a fair rendition into a film called "Three Days of the Condor" that was quite intriguing. Just spoke this evening with a friend who is ex-special ops/undercover military type who used to be at Boeing skunkworks, now retired. He still cannot tell and I do not want to know what he used to do. We had a good laugh at how lightly the idea of murder is being taken by public and media. But then such differences of hunches/opinions are what makes the market and the great game of life interesting, isn't it? You really think Lay could not call a friend of a friend in Italy or Germany or wherever, even DC or Chicago, who could not arrange things? Your world is safer than mine. Jim
