IF THEY AREN'T...IT MEANS THEY MUST BE
Lieutenant General John DeWitt was commander of the Western Defense forces in California in the early stages of World War II. When Japanese-American civilians were being rounded up and placed in custody, someone asked him if he was aware of the fact that no evidence of any sabotage or plotting had come from any of these prisoners. DeWitt's famous reply: "The very fact that no sabotage has taken place to date is a disturbing and confirming indication that such action will be taken."
In other words, because they aren't up to anything...they must be up to something.
This comes to mind because UN inspection teams finally found something in their exhaustive search of Iraq. Empty warheads. Not chemical weapons. Not biological weapons. Not nuc-ya-ler weapons. Empty warheads. Most likely the kind the U.S. cheerfully sold Saddam Hussein in the '80s when he was fighting Iran.
So they finally found something and it turned out to be nothing. That must be proof they're up to something.
