re: we have links.

If nothing else, this thread demonstrates once again how the Skepticism Rheostat around here seems to have a very broad range. If those links hadn't been found, a lot of people--a few of which would instantly accept the word of anonymous sources or strangers wandering past a reporter on a street in Iraq if it supported their positions--would have come to the firm conclusion that the entire thing was made up out of whole cloth.

I still expect to see the theory bandied about that redneck Republicans did all this to "frame" peaceful Leftists. (Good...now I can type the phrase "Peaceful Leftists" without laughing until I get the hiccups.)

This kind of activity is old news, especially if you went to college during the heyday of the Left. Pouring into administration offices and "occupying" them is one of the oldest techniques in the book. Usually, no major damage was done, although there were often a few troublemakers who thought "Smashing Authority" was a literal statement.
