I don’t trust them until I examine them myself. I haven’t gone through the verify part yet, you see.
There is no problem on my part living with uncertainty. You seem to have a problem with it, though. You appear to need to jump to a conclusion to feel comfortable or settled or something.
I didn’t believe the short-form BC but I am leaning toward believing the just-released long form. Not sure how we prove it’s real or not.
As for Bin Laden, I deduced that if he wasn’t dead, he would let the world know (unless we just kidnapped him and are holding him in Area 51). Would Obama risk the truth coming out that he really wasn’t dead? How would that look? But mostly I think the SEALs would be up in arms if Obama and the administration was lying. I do question why Pakistan was not notified until after the raid unless the administration feels they can’t be trusted. If that is the case, stop sending them our money. If someone shows me a pic of what is supposed to be a dead Bin Laden, that won’t convince me because there are all sorts of photoshopped pics everywhere. I believe it’s true because of other evidence. But the Taliban are saying he isn’t really dead, so maybe you side with them.
