And a conspiracy of lies in the highest levels of government isn't that difficult, is it? There aren't that many people at the top. If they all just say the same thing over and over they'll get what they want, and they did get what they wanted.

Fair enough. I guess part of my perspective comes from a sort of blind faith in the goodness of human nature--that even when people behave unethically, it's still often because they think they're doing the right thing. By that logic, the Bushies are well-intentioned but incompetent people who group-thought themselves into a quagmire, not cynical supervillains with ultra-secret self-serving agendas.
I could be wrong. But I kind of hope I'm not--don't you?
