So in the end, it comes down to which side you want to believe. I choose to believe we were lied to because they could, and what it meant in the future for those who did it.

Some people I think look at the world with too many rosy tinted glasses and can't possibly fathom that such evil can be committed even simply in the name of greed. We're human after all, no matter how 'evolved' we think we are, the savagery just becomes more efficient in execution and the methods of concealment more sophisticated.

dont get me wrong I didn sit there watching it thinking 'yeah right', but more that I'm getting this information, 3rd hand (same as with all official reports and media coverage), and personal slant(perspective?) will always be a factor when someone tells you something, however seemingly well backed up.

Hence, why I believe the movies half right and half wrong.
There are a lot of holes and like you say, there was much to gain by the American G'ment lying, but I also dont think they lied as much as you'd expect. The truth is always somewhere in the middle of both sides.

Sometimes buddy, there is NO middle ground to take. It's a yes/no type thing. This is a yes they did, or no they didn't type situation.

If you look at how a society reacts to events, you'll find 9/10 times, that the media has directly contributed to ANY perception of whether actions are justified or not. I'll give you an example, a certain war...gets protested....but they go ahead anyways....then, the media spins for many years to change the perception to one that will get consensus or change perception to agreement.

Unfortunately, I think we have too many sheep, and they're all too happy to follow the shepherds to the slaughter house imo.
