A good and reasonable position

I have for the most part avoided the ongoing threads on this subject for the same reasons.

Of course we would all be incensed at a plot to deceive the public but at the same time it is not difficult to see that the individuals that go on and on about this appear to have a political agenda.

It reminds me of my own position on Capital Punishment. While I oppose CP on principle, I don't waste any tears on the guilty victims and agonize over the evidence that convicted them when it turns out that they committed the crime with a knife instead of a gun. It is appropriate to ask questions and conduct some investigation but harping on the subject in the absence of any damning evidence is transparently political.

I realize that my example on CP can be easily spun but the point is, at this stage of the game the issue sounds more like a talking point than a real issue.
