not taken into account how the Internet would help blow apart much of their evidences & proofs for building the case for Gulf-2.

I think they got caught out because all this worked without trouble in the Reagan & Bush Snr eras so they carried on as usual but have been shredded by both the public & journalist's abilities to research & validate information.

Even Marlowe for all his propgada efforts on behalf of his bosses, gets shredded & humiliated regularly.

There seems to be a parrallel between their efforts except I do believe these Repubs are actually intelligent people.
