Returning to the thread topic (!), today's New York Times (Monday) has a whole series of exculpatory interviews by people trying to weasel out of responsibility for who ordered what when -- most of it (of course) on "deep background".   It reads like the kind of thing you might imagine the interrogators at Nuremberg hearing: Oh, I was opposed all along, of course I passed the memo along, but I never approved it.   And yes of course we stopped it as soon as we could. Shocked, shocked, that gambling was going on.

So painfully obvious.
