I guess some people are just too dense to know when they've been proven
wrong...

Have you read the book? There are letters from high Grenadan officials
to the Soviet government declaring solidarity with the USSR, and asking
for military and political aid for their new government. I don't think you
can get more obvious than that. Have you read the other 35,000 lbs of
documents, and do you have any grounds for claiming that there was anything
more significant than dog license records? It's amazing how quickly people
discover conspiracies when they can't justify their beliefs otherwise...

(Actually, the Grenadan invasion was engineered by Adam Weishaupt, who
is actually an octopus from Atlantis...)
