Ok, I've been thinking about all this tylenol stuff and I believe the
following for absolutely no factual reason:

	I predict it will be discovered that something in
	tylenol's manufacturing process added the cyanide,
	or somehow caused it to be generated while in capsule.
	That is, it was not put there by a person with malicious
	intent.

My only reasoning is that their proof that things were tampered with
seems pretty thin. Also, I presume manufacturing techniques from
company to company are fairly different (perhaps even protected), so
there is no need to explain why other acetominophen manufacturers have
not had the same problem. Obviously this is not original, I am just
saying it seems to not be what people are looking into and still
appears to be the most plausible explanation. Anyone know anything
concrete? Is it just that the interested parties are more comfortable
with the lone terrorist theory than shaking our faith in the system?
