Also agree with Freethinker. Right wing and mass media will say he's lying or delusional or using faulty evidence/reasoning, etc. Any news reporting agency that dares to lend this one iota of credence will be summarily dismissed as a disgusting example of the biased "liberal" media... even though the mass media is only as liberal as the ultra-rich mega-corporations that own it. Almost all American media is controlled by - IIRC - six megacorps. So yeah, it's biased, all right. I recently read that increasing numbers of Americans are looking to foreign news sources in an attempt to get some unbiased information for a change.

All that said, I myself would be skeptical of a gravesite with anything less than DNA testing by several independent sources with a strong reputation for impartiality. Frankly, enough years living in the States has served to make me extremely distrustful of things like this - especially of anyone who stands to reap monetary, political, or personal gain. That necessarily includes Spurlock, despite my admiration for his previous work.

My prediction: spin doctors from both political wings, especially the right wing, will dissect it to death, and it will be yet another circus freak show of American politics as usual. Because of this, in the end, most people will just throw up their hands and say they don't know what the heck to believe. I hope against hope that I am proven wrong.
