I concur from a legal perspective...but there is a large contingent that finds solace in our not being able to find anything, as it allows them to call us "liar". No amount of finds will quiet them all, but there are those subject to shame.
I love the line from The Two Towers where Theoden, King of Rohan, says to Aragorn... "I will not risk open war."
Aragorn, exiled king of Gondor, says... "Open war is upon you whether you risk it or not."
War has been declared. It could not have been made any clearer than it was on 9/11.
So, let the dogs bark... the caravan will pass on, and freedom will be defended.
