Hi Graig,

>Where did I draw any conclusions? I stated almost word for word what the headline of the article stated.

No offense intended. My point is, that what the reporter said tells you nothing. The dangerous thing is that people who are not that keen, easily draw wrong conclusions from it.

This is a problem with a lot of news I see in de media: a lot of lose statements, which are food for anyone who want to draw the wrong conclusions.

Walter,
