Dear Don,
I am writing to you as a member of the aotearoa indymedia editorial team.
Please understand that we are all volunteers and are not always able to
reply to emails straight away. This does not mean we consider the issue
unimportant.I had started to worry, now not so, I understand.

>We did not say we did not believe you, we were simply asking for more
>information.Tell me what you want This was not to belittle your concerns,
> but an acknowledgement of the seriousness of the issue. Lets be clear, this
> is huge, we are talking about white house and pentagon people, not your
> ordinary corruption.

>Further, given that several indymedia centres around the world have recently
