I promised myself when the sh_t hit the fan here that I would refrain from political commentary as I obviously have nothing of substance to contribute BUT how does this post only get two recs? I've read lots of theories including Otto's and many of the great contributors of this board but doesn't this story paint the best picture to date. I know the translation isn't perfect, and I have no idea of the ideological leanings of the author but this seems to report directly on Acosta's parting words doesn't it?

It was a direct report, not an editorial. I read it in Spanish, and while a bit tortured, the auto-translation captures the meaning well enough.
