Read up.
For more localised government collusion try Peter Oborne's The Triumph of the Political Class. Lewis Namiers 'The Structure of Politics at the Accession of George III' is another, that although dated, is still applicable.

so then that leaves us a lyer and a mentally ill woman claiming something............lol
Having done 5 minutes research into your claim that she was unfit for trial I think the more probable reason that she was never allowed to stand trial was that it wasnt in the best interests of the US for her to discuss the issues in an open forum. The suggestion that she was unfit to stand trial because of mental illness - even though there was no external evidence of any illness, was a blatent and cynical mechanism to undermine her credibility and her character and thus avoid a trial... Just an alternative view.

hmmm, being a child of the cretin, i was not aware of these airbus "donations". Im deeply interested in Canadian political debauchery over American, even though they are so linked its hard to tell them apart sometimes. Hmmmm back to the archives.
WAR TRUTH!

Very, very interesting and alarming if true, but, as usual, inconclusive. (And frustratingly so.)
It's possible all of the psychologists and psychiatrists who evaluated her - including those for her own defense - were manipulated, paid off, or insiders working to paint her as delusional. Is it likely, though? I don't know.
In any case, as usual, there is enough doubt created by that factor to render this neither here nor there. Whether that's because that was the intent of some shadowy force within the government (or elsewhere) in an effort to prevent her from having any credibility, or because she really is delusional (or was at the time,) I have no way of knowing.
Either way, it renders her claims dubious and in doubt by my standards of skepticism. Not because I definitively believe she is delusional (or was,) but simply because there is a reasonable possibility that she may be (or may have been then.) Again, maybe that's the whole point, but that doesn't change it. That's why these kinds of cases are so frustrating in my opinion. The evidence may seem tantalizing, but it's in doubt because of other potential factors, for which there is also evidence (if not proof.)edit on 1/11/2011 by AceWombat04 because: Clarification
