>Time to move on.

Once something become politicized, it is virtually impossible for the opposing camps to move on. Intransigence is their only virtue.

Consider not just the world of murder but also such things as bootcamps, vaccines, breast cancer, the Middle East. These are really waring camps wedded to a particular viewpoint. "One in Eight" is really considered to be, at best, meaningless propaganda, yet once there is a 'political faction' there is no longer any meaningful investigation of the issues. There is no middle ground. There is no consideration of the evidence. There is simply a barrage of words sent up by opposing sides whose only goal is to silence the other side.

This is the only real forum for sleuths or would-be sleuths rather than flame throwing fanatics.

We can look back and see that mistakes were made early in the case and a dis-information campaign was initiated. I wish those who waged such a campaign could abandon it and reconsider the evidence, not the emotions, but, as in any war, emotions run too high for anyone to worry about evidence.

And that is why we will probably continue to hear about red turtlenecks and no footprints and pageant-mothers.
