We prefer temporary explanations to a grimmer possibility Why War Won’t End Our Jitters by Robert Samuelson NEWSWEEK INTERNATIONAL Feb. 10 issue Let’s call it the “excuse du jour.”...For three years, we’ve heard serial explanations for the economy’s weakness. The latest is a looming war with Iraq. Aside from increasing oil prices, the war specter (it’s said) has created huge uncertainty that’s causing companies and consumers to postpone big spending decisions. Once the uncertainty lifts, we’ll get a decisive recovery. Don’t count on it... msnbc.com

Well, you have now admitted you don't have the slightest idea of whether the charge you made earlier has any validity. It is a question: do any of these people or anyone else in these positions, as others have claimed, hold non-American passports? If it is true, ... You've given no hint of any reason to investigate the individuals you made charges against or anybody else for that matter. There was a fellow back in the '50's who made charges of disloyalty against people without a shred of evidence to support his charges - Joseph McCarthy. Your tack here is decidedly McCarthyist.
