Does Giant make frames for Trek and Specialized?

There's a guy over on FatWallet claiming that you shouldn't buy a Trek or Specialized bike, but rather buy a Giant, because Giant makes the frames for those other two companies anyway and you get the same bike with less big-name markup.

I think he's full of it, but can't find any evidence on the net to definitively point him to. I always assumed the three were distinctly separate competitors...and watching the Lance Chronicles they showed the Trek folks making the carbon frames for the Postal/Discovery bikes...which tends to tell me they at least do their own carbon frames.

Anyone know with certainty one way or the other on this issue?
