And yet have the small investors been able to read the full rationale behind Sullivan's decision to capitalize the expenses. The media and Sidgmore alluded to a paper existing that summed up the rationale of why Sullivan thought capitalization was appropriate. Why hasn't the investing public been given access to this? Why hasn't the media brought it public? Is it so much easier to yell fraud than bring the facts out for review?

"The media and the analysts are the real crooks here but they hide behind the constitution" Interesting, and I agree. The freedom of the press should include some responsibility to truth! The freedom of speech doesn't allow you to scream fire in a crowded movie theater, so how can the media simply do essentially the same thing? The media is 95% hype and 5% hear say! There is little difference between the washington post and the national inquirer. You rarely find facts in news! And that is sad because so many people use that as their sole source of research.
