Consider how our government has lied to us in the last seventy years:
* Suspicion still abounds that FDR allowed soldiers to die at Pearl Harbor because he knew it would bring America into World War II;
* The military has still not satisfactorily explained what happened in 1947 at Roswell, New Mexico, especially to the satisfaction of those who lived through it;
* Our government lied about U-2 spy planes flying over the U.S.S.R. until Khrushchev shot one down and displayed it for all the world to see;
* The Warren Commission white-washed its version of the JFK assassination, much to the disbelief of millions of American citizens;
* The White House lied about a third-rate burglary in the Watergate Hotel until two young reporters dug at the truth and forced the resignation of a U.S. President;
* The military lied about U.S. battleships being 'attacked' in the Gulf of Tonkin, which led us directly into the Vietnam War;
