Lack of transparency is indeed what make people second guess their intentions. And I have to agree that "being lied to" is the number one reason why people do not trust them. I mildly prefer the "neither confirm nor deny" responses https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glomar_response https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glomar_response I am not an expert but I think the general feeling most of people have is we are hearing a lot of constructed lies. Is there a list of stories told to the public that were proven to be lies? Did they even come out and say "Yes, we lied and this is why..." ?
