I
am not a conspiracy freak, but sooner or later we'll (not the guvament) have this all figured out and there's gonna be lots of screaming and yelling for heads to roll. Same for TWA800, Waco and Ruby Ridge.

I sure hope so because what has been happening (or not) is a malignancy on our gubmint. And its raising hell with my blood pressure and sanity.

I am not a conspiracy theorist either. I'm former LEO, a successful businessman, a semi-successful film maker, father of four, church goer, etc....mature, sober, sensible.
BUT, @ 1983/84 I was pumping gas at the local Exxon and a white van pulled up at the adjacent pump. The panel door slid open and a black-jump-suited guy got out. He was armed. He slid the door closed as he pumped gas but I did catch a glimpse of a couple others just like him inside. I watched him from six feet away. He met my eye with a look that was half embarassment at having to be seen and half "You're not really seeing me, I'm not here.".
It was not until ten years or more later that I first heard of the infamous "white vans" (probably here). To quote Lou Costello..."I know what I saw when I saw it"

I think so too. And .. I think this 9/11 commission is forcing everything out in the public - finally - after the Clintons kept everything hidden for so many years.

The tragedy of this is that many of the so-called conspiracy freaks were spot-on with this, Oklahoma City, Waco, and Flight 800. The left decried anyone connecting the dots early on as a nut case. (DUH!, They still are!)
Instead of decrying conspiracy freaks, maybe some of the conspiracy theories should be re-examined.
The classical scientific method involved disproving hypotheses, gradually advancing the survivors to 'theory' status. Hmmmmm. Maybe it is time to take the same approach to politics.
I always assume the worst, then look for evidence to refute the assumption. With this much potential for consolidation and abuse of power, sometimes the worst is the best-case scenario.
