- It's only "prima facia" in your opinion. I find nothing
- wrong with the simpler model that powerful people with similar
- educational or cultural backgrounds may find a great deal in
- common, including goals and views and act accordingly. This
- is not a conspiracy.
-
- Just out of curiosity, what would you cite as some examples
- of actual conspiratorial behavior among these members. In
- other words, could you please cite two or three specific
- instances of policy decisions that you feel were made as a
- result of a CFR conspiracy.
