And a lot of other preposterous claims have been made in the political
arena the last few years. Do you believe them all? Have you read "The
Protocols of the Elders of Zion"? Do you give it credibility? Many

Guardian? Listen to George Galloway?

Are you as gullible in the technical field as you are in politics?
