    In my experience it's a mistake to automatically accept/report the word of any govt. without attribution or independent investigation. 1/2

        A lot on your shoulders since you're 1 of few journalists that still do proper investigation. Thank you & Happy New Year!

        There is little independent investigation anymore. The "fake news" joke is becoming the new book burning, kill all truth.

        isn't it akin to the report that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction?? Look how that turned out!
