yep, because its easy to get into the Salem Witchtrials. I suppose if someone comes forward with incontrovertible evidence - particularly someone politically non-partisan - there might be reasonable ways to approach the subject. In the particular case cited in this thread, or in the thread on that Craig guy out in the midWest, a lack of evidence is rather a problem. I would think an actual journalistic approach would be about the only way I could see it working out in an intellectually satisfying manner.
