Sorry to have misread your statements about the Vietnam era president,
then.
Apologies.It looked pretty political me.

To everybody else who protested, please excuse that in topic, tone and
attitude I stepped over the line of what you consider tolerable on this
list.

Please do so (Offlist, if you prefer). It is something I should know as
a
citizen, and I haven't seen anything about it in the media I follow.
Could
you please give names and cite a reliable source ? Might be worth
letters to
some editors. There are media here that like to expose any government
scandal.
