Obviously someone somewhere realised that there is no political mileage in the original finding.

Y'know the old ploy, maintain the peoples rage. This is absolutely consistent with current NeoCon policies.
Its an interesting theory and certainly has merit (as pointed out by Infern0 the damage seems to be light and away from any real critical areas) but it suffers from the same problem as P80's incessant "its all the leftist fault" argument in that it isn't backed by any real evidence.

While it certainly could have been done by right wing nutters or left wing nutters it could also have been done by anti-war types, anti-government types, people that don't like black stone or the Memorial Haters Society of South Dakota, the only thing we now know for sure is that it was deliberate.

I am sticking with just let the authorities sort it out.
