So, it appears you are proposing that this event is the impetus for some sort of convoluted plot to give Obama the emergency powers necessary to allow him to remain in office indefinitely.

Did I say that. There are other "interested parties" besides Obama. Maybe the Iranians trying to get that Imam to come out of that well.

But you're right “We don't know what we don't know.”

When the interviewer asks Atty Browne if it appeared that SSGt Bales knew what he had done, the attorney responds, No. He seemed to be unaware of some of the facts that he (Browne) talked about which made him concerned about his (Bales') state of mind.

Maybe because he didn't do everything that he's being accused of? It's possible. Remember all the fake causalities in Israel and Lebanon, attributed to the Israelis, with photos. Upon checking the same little girl was apparently mangled in both places, and the same guy appeared in images (purportedly) from both places. Or the photoshopped smoke over Lebanese cities.

Who's paying Browne?

yes, I freely admit I had to look up “Van der Lubbe!”

We learn more that way. I know I do anyway. :)

AFP: "US soldier 'can't recall' Afghan massacre

Interesting quote from above article.

ales also denied reports that he was drunk at the time of the attacks, according to Browne.

"He said he had a couple sips of something but he didn't have a full drink," the lawyer said,"

No; you didn’t say that; which is why I prefaced my comment with, “So, it appears...”

Your original post was rather cryptic; hence my speculative reply; which, as you affirmed, brings us right back to what I stated in my first post: “We don’t know what we don’t know.”

Anything beyond that is pure speculation. ‘Makes a great plot for a novel; but, beyond that, has limited value.

Absolutely; and I appreciate the hint about Van der Lubbe!
