Independent report by MIT researchers conclusively refuted US claims that the 2013 sarin attacks were conducted by the Syrian Government after analysis of the rocket trajectories: https://www.lrb.co.uk/v35/n24/seymour-m-hersh/whose-sarin https://www.lrb.co.uk/v35/n24/seymour-m-hersh/whose-sarin

I think many of us are asking the same thing: Is the intelligence we're being fed cherry picked. It's unsettling that the government and the media does not have to be accountable to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, which is what the general public expects. What happens to those people who mislead us, and are we finally going to smarten up?
