Wrong.

Because the Sun Times is such a beacon of journalistic integrity.

You're wrong, though it would make an excellent x-files episode.

You're wrong.  No one is forcing ISP's to sell by holding guns to their heads or
threatening anyone. They are selling because the people who own them want 
to be very very rich.  There is no conspiracy here beyond the love of
money.  So, if you want to know whos next, think about who owns them.  I 
think the ones that have gone so far are entirely believable.
