[QUOTE]Originally posted by David Sands: [QB] OK, Lee, that's what I had wanted now for a while. A few short responses. 1. Pacepa defected in 1978 during the height of the malaise when it looked like that side might win. The book he published in 1987. All that happened before the Iron Curtain fell. He had plenty of status and income before then, so it looks less like a need to support himself by feeding the CIA what they wanted than a realization that what the Soviets and Romanians were doing was wrong. 2. "Discrediting" someone is not the same as [i]lying[/i] about them. I wouldn't say the statement necessarily supports either of our positions. 3. I suppose it's possible someone could use a statement like that against the pronouncer. Although I haven't seen any other good reasons why no one has come forward for why they won't spill the beans one way or the other. I'm open to other explanations though if you'll post them. I think you've put forth some very plausible reasons for that not being the situation. But I would not say that either side has proven it. I would also not say that the hypothesis that he is suffering from AIDS has been affirmatively [i]disproven[/i] given that the sources are not so disreputable as to be disbelieved on sight. We'll just have to see what the next few days bring (if it's ever answered period...) [/QB][/QUOTE]
