Unfortunately, That oil slick is probably long gone by now. BUT maybe we
could "Borrow" one of the navy's hunter-killer subs for a few hours. I'm
sure any of our bashful boys from the 'Silent Service', no, not the CIA,
could help us find the AMP.AD in a matter of minutes. Then we could just let
slip that it's in wondrous condition, but must be recovered whole, and stand
back while all the parts hungry Texans and Iowans fight each other for the
spoils. Then, while they're all tired and helpless, we could sweep in, grab
the spoils, and run. (To Colorado??!!) . Yes, I could shoot underwater
stills and video, which we might get on CNN. BK
