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.
I don't recall it written anywhere, even in the Constitution, that your government is required to tell you the "truth" (if such an amorphous thing actually exists) or seek your approval for what they do, so long as it has been deemed within the bounds of the law. You seem to have a lot of opinions about what government should be like. You're welcome to them.
I base my concept of objective reality on physical measured data. Everything that is subjective, like what you think a government should be like, is just shit you make up. Now if you can tell me that a government is supposed to have an average of 75 Truthrons and that the USA has only 32 and you can show me how you measured that, we'll talk.
