[QUOTE="mugsy, post: 2235075, member: 18914"] Waltham41 - how do you make the leap that by refuting that everything is a lie, I am affirming that everything is the truth? That fails the basic logic test - i.e. if A then B, does NOT equal if not A then not B. I have always preached trust, if you wish, but always verify. The problem is that no one, at any level, ever has "perfect" intelligence and, especially in matters of military secrets - with forces actively working to hide or obscure what they are doing - it is extremely hard to know "ground truth" but that doesn't mean you don't have to make decisions anyway. Some of those decisions have lesser or greater short and long term effects but that is the cost of doing any kind of business at all. Those who say "well don't make any decision" forget that making no decision is a decision in and of itself. [/QUOTE]
