- Well, one could draw that conclusion; however, I took the

- indicate how little control he had at that stretch of time.

- Thow in the lack of a direct order, Baines, the CIA an X's comments on
- it "not just being the NOI" and you get a rather obvious attempt to
- avoid saying that the NOI had much to do with it.

- I like it.
