Dear Charles,
They do gibe, if the goal is to prevent the case from being heard
at all, which is what I was implying by my title for that cj posting (It
ain't easy to fight the NWO). What I did find confusing was the statement
"The new government recently denounced Texaco's superficial clean-up
activities and may be inclined to support the suit." I couldn't untangle
the timing of the various events.
