And another thing... not taking the government at its word doesn't make me a "known paranoiac". It means I'm observant of history and current events. I know the lies our government told to justify its treatment of Native Americans, blacks, and Asians, and to justify our many wars. I know the lies the Germans told to justify their treatment of Jews. I know the lies the Israelis tell to justify their treatment of Palestinians. I could go on and on. The point is, governments lie routinely. They lie more often than they tell the truth.

In short... if you believe that the public should just accept the government's word for why it killed someone, you have to be either ignorant, stupid, or evil.
