Excerpt from email sent yesterday:

“...SGT Booker of the National Park Service (NPS), to check on the facts about the defacement of the Vietnam Wall last weekend. He explained it was a cleaning accident by a Park Ranger and NOT a defacement as was originally reported by the Vietnam Veterans of American (VVA). *The NPS is regarding this as an accident instead of an act of vandalism or terrorism.
*
Our National Commander Patriot Henry Cook III has the
direct phone numbers for SGT Booker of the NPS, and can
verify these facts with him directly. A copy of this
correction is also being sent the VVA for their follow up
and verification. (snip)”

From Washington Times:

NPS put out a statement also yesterday:
http://washingtontimes.com/article/20070911/METRO/109110043/1004
claiming they still didn’t know and were still investigating.

Also, NPS is misrepresenting the amount of damage. From that link, they state, “50 to 60 feet mostly on the paving stones”.

That is inconsistent and the pictures and video are inconsistent.

I don’t know.

Heck, the Park Service isn't even willing to say it was intentional. From this link....

Mystery Substance Found at Vietnam Veterans Memorial

...Park Service spokesman Bill Line says cleaning crews worked over the weekend to remove the substance, but it's still unclear what it was. He says it's premature to speculate on whether it was intentional.

I won't print what I'm thinking....

it is the NATURE of a federal bureaucrat to DECEIVE, "shift the blame", claim ignorance of the facts & to LIE (when all else fails), just as it it the NATURE of a serpent to SLITHER!

absent INDEPENDENT PROOF, i trust NONE of them anymore.
