You are absolutly right, in what you are saying and you have no argument from me, however, i was talking about the summer of 2001, when the relation between the US government and Talian was already soured on the issue. That was my point. I was not refering to few years back, to what led it to that. Though, I am very curious of whom according to you spilled the beans ...

I don't have any concrete evidence, just my own deductions. Although, the deaths of certain people have given some credence to my suspicions.
