Not so much in this thread, but overall I get the distinct impression that the general opinion is exactly that: We are "owed" an explanation, damn the government, and it's all a giant conspiracy. I'm more of the opinion that "Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity." which I think is "Hanlon's Law," though there appear to be several variations. What does get my dander up is folks who want to withhold because they think it's all about demons. I resent that, but it still falls under Hanlon's Law. Mostly I think it's just about people trying to do their jobs under trying circumstances, so I try to retain some sympathy towards them.
Everything hurts and I'm tired.
