    That's an important article Bob - tacit administration by the intelligence community that they have nothing. They seem to be putting the correct hypothesis first.

    Indeed - there is a bill re China that's working it's way thru Congress that would require the release of the "intel." I'm all for it. Move on from the DISTRACTions - get a real plan for following the animals - do the science.

    Looking forward to reading that article. I was on a call with folks from the White House oversight committee this morning talking about all of this stuff - they're still pretty focused on lab escapes, but definitely see the need for "follow the animals". Hopefully they came away from that conversation realizing that one is much more likely and much more important to really 'investigate' than the other. The intelligence community ain't got nothing. Zip.

    We had four years where the clowns were literally in charge (think Asher). Couple that with the desire to be "strong"on China," early misinfo and transparency "issues," and you can see where they are coming from. The slog is uphill.
