AVX just doesn't know when to quit

For many Myrtle Beach residents, the antics of the AVX corporation are beginning to wear thin. A few months ago, they mentioned that the military may be responsible for some of the pollution that is being blamed on AVX as a result of the military base being adjacent to the AVX property. While the government admits that there is still some cleanup that needs to be done, the pollution the government put into the ground is nowhere near the AVX side of the old air base property nor has it been conclusively tested to be the same type or as caustic as the AVX pollution. AVX filed court documents this month stating that the military is who is responsible for the groundwater contamination in the neighborhood around the AVX property in Myrtle Beach. Not suprisingly, AVX has also requested protection of its employees from having to answer questions as to how the contamination happened in the first place.

My thinking is that if AVX is indeed innocent, why are they so concerned with their employees being questioned unless they have something to hide or they are guilty in the first place?
