See, the problem with that is that this David Steele guy, and all the guys mentioned in the previous post, are "high ranking" (whether they are or not, I don't know) so that makes them credible to you. But if one of those guys said "this conspiracy stuff is nonsense" the response would be along the lines of "yeah, well he's a high-ranking guy, he's got blood on his hands too, we can't trust him".

You can trust someone with credentials who agrees with the theory because he's an insider, but you can't trust a guy who disagrees, because he's got credentials and he's an insider.

In other words, the only trustworthy sources are guys who agree with you.

That being said, Cheney is such a son of a bitch I wouldn't put anything past him. But since he's been pinched for lesser crimes, I can't see him (or anyone else) pulling off this kind of caper.

It's like saying "my friend Dave got caught stealing a Mars bar from 7-11 last week and on Sunday he walked out of the Louvre in broad daylight with the Mona Lisa up his ass, and nobody noticed, because he's a master thief".
