And why is it so difficult for you to understand that they are milking the situation for all it's worth. They want an issue, not a resolution, otherwise they wouln't have gone public.

Sometimes it is necessary to "go public" to force an issue to see the light of day.

How much do you think could have been resolved "quietly" if the pertinent documents for the critical years were not available "for technical reasons"?

Sometimes it is necessary to "go public" to force an issue to see the light of day And when you "force an issue" then it stops being a matter of good will and enters the politcal arena. I wonder, for instance, if it might have something to do with Europe's having turned against Israel.
