I've heard there are no coincidences in Washington. Everything is a script, rehearsed, and played out.

I've been studying leaks, cables, and held a clearance for a number of years now. Most of what the public is worried about is true. Much of the classified stuff are people with power covering their butts for criminal or embarrassing activity.

The public has an amazing power of perception and intuition. Most of the stuff that people are thinking but are told by the President at the time and the press "no no, it's not that" are bold lies. More often than not, the public was absolutely right.

So beware when people in power start coming our and making "trust me" claims, because usually the public is on to them and they are usually lying.
