This is how it sounds to me.  I think it is naive to assume Mr. Gates&#x27; character is so one-dimensional.  He is a critical thinker; I&#x27;m sure he realizes the dichotomy he presents is BS.  He wants to protect his legacy.<p>Mr. Cook, on the other hand, I truly feel is using this issue for a little free (minus legal fees) publicity, and to tell the FBI not to make such a big, public stink if they want cooperation.  Like a contract negotiation.<p>It&#x27;s easy to believe in someone who says what we want to hear, but necessary to question their motivations.<p>Honne and tatemae, pure and simple.
