(57,936 posts)46. Problem is that the report, thanks to the blacked out portions, is not clear as to who
had made the threats. If it was private groups, then the problem is very different than if the threats came from some sort of official or quasi-official, say private contractor entities.

But if some official or semi-official entities were making the threats, then there is a serious problem.
