Well. it was me that queried the "cold blooded murder", and I certainly never suggested you were referring to the gassing, I know you were referring to the witholding of information afterwards. "Cold-blooded" means "preplanned" and "murder" implies intent to kill, in any normal meaning of the phrase. I don't believe that holding back that information was a policy carefully thought out in advance to cause people to die after they arrived in hospital alive. And frankly, I don't believe that you believe that either. I think you just said "cold-blooded murder" in the heat of the moment. I think you just made a mistake.
