Good points. If the tortured, labyrinthine explanations of an accident don't play in Peoria, can you imagine anyone, anywhere believing a government statement again? In a way, this whole atrocity thing has a bright spot: sheeple will begin looking at government the way the Founders did and the way it should be viewed.

The bad thing about the bright spot is that everyone will be as cynical as Jammer.

Jammer, I wish we were all as cynical as you. This thing doesn't fly at all. I think that we will see more questions being raised as the day progresses. We may even see a complete reversal in theory being espoused by the NTSB and FBI. My take on it is that these two orgs have newly developed PR teams that are staying aprised with the sentiment of the nation. Hell, they may even have lurkers here.

My guess is that Bush's media/PR machinery is not going to risk negating the good will and support of the overall populace by espouzing a lie that will not be bought. The gaging of the lie is being surveyed and assessed RIGHT NOW! A decision will be made in the next few hours whether to support the lie or go with people.
