You know for a fact that the federal government has lied, obstructed justice and manipulated the press in efforts to cover-up inconvenient truths from the American people. Many of those instances have occured in the past ten years.

For you to ridicule people who question the official version of events as unsatisfactory given that track record is more than insulting. If the federal government were held to the same standards as others in courts of law, the Justice Department would have been disbarred a long time ago and hundreds of government officials would be behind bars.

That's not to say that everyone in government is a crook (they're not) and that every conspiracy theory is factual (they're not).

But to question whether a habitual liar is lying again does not make one a geek or a social misfit. It shows good judgment.

People/investigators 'leak' (as Sen. Depends -er- Leahy does), to reporters who want stories - little 'snipets' here and there get mis-interpreted by non-technical reporters ... wind-up in the media ... whole story get 'distorted' ... THEN there's the internet ...

... it is WELL understood here that Xlinoon, X-42, Belzebubba is a habitual LIAR and a con man - but to insist that his influence extends outward and down to the lowest levels of our governmenmt's functioning so as to pervade EVERY agency and investigation, is, well, conspiratorial thinking at best ...
