well.. wouldnt be the first time the agencies have set someone up for something, so, to me, it's not that hard to give him the benefit of the doubt.. especially since he couldn't be convicted for the alleged hits he ordered

what if they couldn't convict him for the hits exactly bc of the reason you stated earlier - that the agencies involved were corrupt? perhaps that's why they hid further info that would clear up this confusion for all of us.. to safe face
