Re: sad day in america, does anyone think the govt played a part???
[QUOTE=NickMcDuff;989739]The bigger picture here is how to prosecute people involved in such a crime in this day and age. When it comes to middle eastern dictators or African warlords then the answer is simple but not when its leaders of the Western world, especially the US.
When somebody like the FBI reviews a case, every piece of evidence is looked at after it has been retrieved by the FBI themselves. When a commission reviews a case, the only look at the evidence that is presented to them by third parties. There's a reason this method isn't used in criminal cases. When the people doing the reviewing are connected to the very people implicated, then you have a bigger problem. You can see where this is going.
The crux of the matter for you seems to be the faith you have in your own political leaders. The notion that any political leader in the modern world dedicates their lives to their country in order to better it, just isn't true. They are dedicated to money, and money alone. Governments are essentially corporations. In fact, they're even floated as such. Governments therefore are motivated by profit, which in turn motivates certain decisions that may seem alien, unjust or even inhumane to most of us. This is nothing new to corporate culture though. I assume you're aware of Cheneys corporate connections. Well he's just the guy we know most about. Washington is riddled with politicians just like him, all with connections to corporate America. Do you really think they care about ole Joe the Plumber and the fact he's down on his luck? Let's be realistic here.[/QUOTE]
You didn't answer the question...there isn't any evidence. Nothing leaked to good olde' Wikileaks, reporters around the world, insiders with second thoughts, etc. Also just saying 'coverup' isn't a valid answer ;)
