Reply #17: Since those claiming that these folks were not on the manifest [View All]

[alcibiades_mystery]

are the ones making the positive claim, it is rather your job to show an official manifest and support that claim. Showing a list of passengers that obviously (and for good reason) excludes the perpetrators is insufficient to support that claim, in any case.

Now, the better question would be why the official manifest is hard to come by. That is a curious fact and one that makes me reasonably itchy. That said, it does not in itself support the claim that the names provided were not the the names on the manifest.
