It is still too early to tell, and nobody should be jumping to conclusions at this stage in the investigation. Either you have faith in the law-enforcement machine, or you don't. Let them finish their investigation, publish a report, and then make your own conclusions. (You know, kind of how it all went down with 9/11: same deal. No jumping to conclusions, kids ..)

Nobody should be jumping to conclusions at the point the Senate intel committee has said they're sure during committee hearings and NSA/FBI/CIA have issued a joint report? What do you consider a reasonable standard if the intel community saying their findings isn't it?

  A written report that isn't a 30-second video sound-bite.

  There is a huge difference between a published report being filed, and a couple of statements here and there from media representatives.
