    Except they are not in a holding pattern. Rather they are trying to justify everything. If these were really fake, it would not be taking this long for us to hear about it. If these documents being fakes is really your theory, then you are delusional.

  > My point is that although the government has not officially declared the documents to be authentic, their failure to merely laugh them off as obvious fakes created by a kook is more than telling. Um. It's ridiculously bad PR to respond to every such claim. The best possible scenario is that a couple people will take your word for it. Most people will instead just take such a response as a legitimization of the criticism. You might be particularly credulous and accept the government's say-so, but I wouldn't.
