Framing 17 guys, 12 SS and 5 military, all at once, all with the same lie? One guy claiming that no, he didn't bring a prostitute back to his taxpayer paid for room, and that he is being set up, is one things. Seventeen guys saying that, all at the same time, is incomparably different. Meaning that you would have to be insane to try and frame this many guys, the same way, at the same time.
Lets see if we have 17 guys saying "I wuz framed." If we do do, we will find out, and can act accordingly. If we don't, Birther level paranoid speculation just makes Free Republic look a conservative DU.
How does anyone say this? Been there to scout?
