U.S. Credibility and Lost Bomb
Why the big flap over the Navy’s secrecy about the lost hydrogen bomb? Are people really surprised? Have they forgotten all the suppressed news and “disinformation” over the years? What about all the nuclear plant mishaps that have been hushed up?
What about the sheep that died in Utah in the 1960s when the Pentagon swore it hadn’t been testing nerve gas in the area? What about Ronald Reagan’s vowing he would never trade arms for hostages at the very time he was trying to do just that?
What about the fact that drug trafficker Panama Gen. Manuel Noriega was put on the CIA payroll when George Bush was director of that agency--the same George Bush who is now outraged at Noriega’s drug connections?
To believe that what emanates from the Washington PR mill is factual and complete one would have to be naive to the point of stupidity.
