The information I have seen indicates that the raid at Gibson
concerned Madagascar rosewood that may have been smuggled through
Germany. The bust was not over a CITES violation (MadRose is not on
the endagered list), but for a possible violation of the Lacey Act.

Everybody's been going off half cocked over this all week.
