Ian and others:
This does appear like an explosive situation. I question how much
management would even consider such allegation if their careers are
threatened. Jackson Browne has a new CD with the title song "Looking
East" He sing," Where the search for the truth is conducted with a wink
and nod, where power and privilege are equated with the grace of God."
IMHO I would go slow as if you diffusing a bomb. Those who love darkness
will hate the light. I trust that those with more experience and wisdom
than I would chime in.
