[Jewelry making - Article 00444] - [Orchid] Tanzanite mis-information

    Well despite what we all would prefer to believe MSNBC and a couple
    of other news channels are now reporting the US INTELLIGENCE has
    released information that Al Qaeda has been in Tanzania buying up
    tanzanite rough directly from miners. I think I will believe the US
    Government on this one instead of a dealer that would have a
    financial interest in keeping both Al Qaeda and Americans as
    clients. 

    The question now is, now that you know where the information is
    coming from what are you going to do about it? Now that this story
    has hit the air waves you know it has a good chance of being covered
    by NBC tonight on the National news, after that the other networks
    can not be far behind. 

    Since it has gone beyond plausable denial (why would intelligence
    say this otherwise?) what are viable options for jewelers?
