I don't know what happened but I do know this: those who believed the government covered whatever did happen up sure seem much more credible given the proven lying and lawbreaking by the FBI and the DOJ coverup of the ludicrous "everyone fell asleep or took a smoke break right when the cameras all malfunctioned temporarily and the other prisoners were elsewhere" Jeffery Epstein murder. And so much more.
I certainly will never trust the FBI again. So why should I assume they and the other government agencies doing the investigation were all squeaky clean back then?
lets also say that the coverup was a strategic move to not give the terrorists any publicity....I can accept that....
IIRC immediately after this, the Toon make an executive order specifically prohibiting Navy Seals from being protected by the whistleblower laws.
