A senior Congressional investigator has accused his agency of covering up a scientific fraud among builders of a $26 billion system meant to shield the nation from nuclear attack. The disputed weapon is the centerpiece of the Bush administration’s antimissile plan, which is expected to cost more than $250 billion over the next two decades.The dispute is unusual. Rarely in the 85-year history of the G.A.O., an investigative arm of Congress with a reputation for nonpartisan accuracy, has a dissenter emerged publicly from its ranks.(NYT Apr. 2)

Psychic pundit service available:
R: It’s just a disgruntled Democrat using his position to try to damage a Republican administration.
D: He HAS to go public, because otherwise Bushitler would silence him.
Etc, etc. Each side has what they consider plausible reasons to believe their own story.
This reminds me of the saying:
Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean you’re not being followed.
