Yes, you do: the WSJ article that reported that. The one Gruber not only cited but linked to.

My point is that that article is not available to me or the public at large. You can't expect to cite secret evidence and have us just believe everything you say. You're not Dick Cheney.

I'm done replying now, since you don't seem to be getting it.

By this logic, Taco Bell burritos aren't available to me or the public at large because they cost like 79ยข. Yet somehow Taco Bell makes millions off these unavailable burritos. It's almost like you're not being reasonable here.

Just because something takes a modicum of effort to obtain doesn't mean it's "unavailable." You can either pay a modest sum for the Wall Street Journal or just go to a library and read it there. It is readily available. If you choose not to read it, you don't then get to pretend the evidence therein does not exist.

Reading full original sources is like a message board super power.
