I was with you until you said prove it "to the public" After the WMDs and 17 intelligence agencies agree fiascos, among countless others, I'm beginning to lean on the side of the media being able to sell snow to an eskimo. I know this is US-centric and lots of europe/other parts of the world were much more skeptical of the WMD claims at the time. Before people politically flame me, I mention the "17 intelligence agencies" for 2 reasons 1) getting 17 people to agree on anything is impossible, getting 17 gigantic bureaucracies larger each than most governments to agree on anything is asinine. 2) most of the evidence, if you read the redacted report, was trivially forgeable so as to be pointless in determining actual responsibility.
