Aw, come off it!  I can't believe it when people start going on
about this damned CIA manual stuff.

Any asshole who can figure out how to fire a gun can perform
assassinations.  Note also that the Sikhs involved in the Gandhi
assassination were contacted by radical organizations over a year
ago, (well before the CIA manual case).  I suppose anyone who
watches 'The Godfather' is going to go out and start an organized
crime family too...

Please engage mind before mouth (or hands)...
