“How long would it take a group of Hollywood movie script writers take to come up with such “secrets”?”

Using Hollywood script writers for actual intrigue carries the same risk as using university trained scientists to develop weapons. They are constitutionally incapable of keeping secrets. Also, they are already intellectually on the other side.

A Russian told me, there are no conspiracies in America. Once two people know a secret one of them is busy negotiating a book and movie deal.

It would be interesting to know if Ted Kennedy was paid for his treachery against Reagan.

I am suspicious that such a treasure trove would magically appear on the heals of the Snowden release.
