attacks to date have consisted of claims that not only are not backed up by evidence, they are actually refuted by it. Surely, they're too [...]

Thank Yous are due to many folks who helped me in this mission. Thanks first of all to Greg Beck and the other fine folks at Public Citizen, and who support their work. Some I hesitate
