Why all the animosity towards Hawke and Abeles?
Those guys were doing what they had to do - and were expected to do. It was their job to do what they did. Of course they would go to any length - that was to be expected wasn't it?
The feeling, by some posters, towards these gentlemen appears to be of hatred. That is what I don't understand.
If you embark on a game of chess with somebody, who then beats you, you don't then hate that person for the next 20 years do you?
