Actually, I think it is pretty easy to know what is fact.
Fact: It is against international law to unilaterally (or otherwise) attack a nation.
Fact: there are numerous examples of private interests (read: corporations) actively leading militant foreign and domestic policy to destructive (for everyone else) ends.
Fact: these private interests are incredibly powerful, and their range of influence incredibly broad.
Fact: Most of these interests have incorporated 'media' outlets as part of their corporate fabric, essentially as in-house PR representatives.
These are all facts. If you put them together, you see how policy is driven. I can give you
incredibly specific examples (down to dollar amounts) of these occurances, all in easily obtainable record.
