  Well, yes.  If Chuck were correct, we'd pretty much have to lop off the 
American government at the shoulders, and do similar housecleaning in a 
number of other sectors, including the military, civilian monitoring groups, 
media, and whatever scientific personnel were involved.  And that's probably 
just for starts, we'd probably want structural changes in whatever replaced 
all that.
