Without getting into the specifics of any of these events, I have to say that of course conspiracies exist.

con·spir·a·cy: –noun, plural -cies.
1. the act of conspiring.
2. an evil, unlawful, treacherous, or surreptitious plan formulated in secret by two or more persons; plot.
3. a combination of persons for a secret, unlawful, or evil purpose: He joined the conspiracy to overthrow the government.
4. Law. an agreement by two or more persons to commit a crime, fraud, or other wrongful act.
5. any concurrence in action; combination in bringing about a given result.

Why do you assume that "someone always talks?" I would wager that the vast majority of conspiracies go undiscovered. Also, operations can be so compartmentalized that only a few people actually know the full depth of the conspiracy, or even of its existence.

Welch, your effort to respond to paranoia with careful logic is admirable... futile, but admirable. Unfortunately it is not possible to respond to such posts as is warranted within The Lounge.

Its a friendly fire cover-up of an American hero....What did you expect the government to do?

I did have issue with the way the Pentagon spun it as to gain support for the war.

He was a great American!
