So where did you demand people find out if it was true?
Did they pass a law saying that was a requirement in order to ask questions about this controversy? What's your point?
BTW, when did YOU demand to know the truth? Rather, you summoned up a determination of your very own truth right between your ears. We have a controversy, with two sides saying two different things. Don't YOU want to know where the truth is?
I have a great deal of mistrust of any government statements, assuming that the odds favor some portion of all government statements being untruthful. So, I'm starting from that point, but I want to know the truth.
You apparently would prefer to make sweeping statements and let it go at that.
