“Who you gonna trust?”
No one.
Or put another way, trust but verify.
I trust my friend. I have known him for a half century. He was a US inspector of nuclear missile site decommissioning in Kazahkstan and after reporting instances of contact between Russian nuclear officers and Islamic radicals he was poisoned in his hotel room in Istanbul, went into convulsions in air, landed in Frankfurt and was saved by the docs at Ramstein Military Hospital. You damn well better know that I believe him.
