Possible yes, but much harder. I am curious what will come out as American documents gradually get declassified. I suppose Congress could keep extending the deadline to declassify them like they've done with the Kennedy assassination file, which is a nuisance. I'm not a conspiracy theorist and I don't expect to find out that anything like Tlatelolco happened on our soil, but then the CIA has arranged for events just like this in Vietnam and other nations on numerous recorded occasions, so why not.

This is the first I'd ever heard of it, btw. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, even if it's a queasy subject.

Speaking of government cover-up conspiracies...

A friend sent me this link by way of her husband, who is in the Army. She is an Army veteran herself and admittedly no big fan of conspiracy theories, but she found this to be interesting, at the very least. I have to agree that it does -- if all facts are indeed true -- contain some food for thought. Even if it's only a product of somebody's overactive imagination, it's a great presentation with equally compelling music from the Fight Club soundtrack... (link)

One more interesting note: I tried to forward it to E, but he informed me that the site is blocked from his view. Hmm... interesting that Big Brother doesn't want any forward deployed troops to see it. (Then again, I was frequently puzzled by the choice of blocked sites when I was on the Vinson. But still...)

Well, we may not have had Tlateloco, but we do have the genocide of the Amerinds, the Tuskegee Experiment, and the Kent State Shootings.
