The politicians' favorite mantra, "Never let a crisis go to waste", has caused both sides of the aisle to pile on and try to make political gains from it. Endless conspiracy theories are spun off, and every day somebody does something to reignite the fear. As they used to say on 'The X Files', "The truth is out there". But we'll probably never know what it is.
