We are in broad agreement. I have little doubt he is dead and am not accusing anyone of doing anything they do not believe to have been in our country's best interests. My only point was that the lack of transparency indicates the official story bears a shaky resemblance to the truth. We never get the full unadulterated 100% truth, nor do I claim a right to know it, It's just that this account is strikingly way out there.
