	What, money? Publicity? Strieber is an ass, a fake, and a
	wart on the face of the UFO community.

	Of course he isn't. Government agents could care less about
	making money and attracting publicity for themselves.

	Bullshit.

	Oh, poor Whitley. Mad because Hopkins, one of the most

	everyone what you really are?
