This is pretty close to where I'm at. I think Bell and SafeKids have the same interests they've arrived at independently. Bell supports them because they have complimentary goals, but it's nothing so nefarious as hiring them in the hopes that they'll go further than they themselves are willing to, due to liability; a sort of "hired gun" as hagen put it. It's two entities that are natural allies, and so pool together. Nothing more, nothing less.
