never mind that the government has no official ties with the tortfeasor.

Great article except for the inexplicable use of "tortfeasor."

I agree with you about tortfeasor.

IMHO,with Buckley,it's probably tongue-in-cheek.Perhaps a way of mocking the complainers.Buckley gets wierd with words sometimes,as if it's some joke or riddle only he knows.

Who knows.

I'd like to sit down and have a couple of brews with him,though.He has an interesting mind.
