Default Gibson raided for the 3rd. time...

http://blues.about.com/b/2011/09/07/...ided-again.htm

Here's what gets me:

"Most vexing, perhaps, is the fact that after numerous raids and the
confiscation of ebony and rosewood, the government won't tell Gibson
exactly how the company has broken the law, and the investigation is
ongoing, no matter the cost in materials, lost labor, and legal fees
to the instrument maker. It's this seeming overreach on the part of
the authorities that has helped stoke the anti-government furor
surrounding the story."

Since 2009 the powers that be should have had enough time to build
some kind of a case against Gibson but like the article said:

" ...the government won't tell Gibson exactly how the company has
broken the law, and the investigation is ongoing..."

Something ain't right.
