First off, and please don't get me wrong -- I'm not saying one way or the other that it was planned and executed by the government. I don''t have enough information to make that call.

I am *NOT* advocating some crazoid conspiracy theory, but just to toss something in to help with the discussion, what of the folks who say the attack was a government raid in order to push the gun-control agenda?

I, personally, have no reason to doubt the corrupt politicians wouldn't be more than willing to pull something like that off if it advanced their agenda. I'm not saying they did -- just that if we discovered they did, it would not surprise me one bit.

With the media seemingly in the politicos pocket, and the politicians pulling corrupt activities on such an on-going basis that it is hard to keep up with them all, who could actually argue either way, based on what we have heard?

Good article. Lets hope it passes.
