Little Hawk, I do get your drift - but I also think that comment can have a negative effect on those that do try to search for the truth and look at both sides. It also becomes an easy answer to negate a person who has come to some sort of conclusion after a lot of searching.

I don't think any of us, except for maybe Froth, have closed our minds to any option.

As for Cheney & crew, perhaps they are more calculating than I give them credit for - but they are still human beings, and they have shown flaws. I sincerely doubt that Dead Eye Dick Cheney could pull this off when he can't even shoot a gun properly.
