   Conspiracy theorists are going to be ranting and raving about this for a while
  Less than a month ago retired Admiral Thonas Moorer, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, released a short essay regarding the 1967 Liberty attack in which he presented in a publicly consumable format a summary of his findings from over the last quarter century in interviewing and investigating the incident. Today he is dead, the cause "was not disclosed".His original essay can still be found using the magic of Googles cache here.Now, the guy was 91, but do you think that this will stop the tinfoil hat crowd from claiming he was "silenced" by the US govenment/Israel/CIA/LGM*?*Little Green Men 
  In a way, I think the stranger the death, the more publicity his essay would get.  If any of those groups wanted him out, they would have probably found a more natural way to kill him, and he is 91 so it shouldnt be too hard. ;  Yes, he is 91, so it is a little hard to swallow, but it is politically convenient. Perhaps we have inept conspirators?   Resist everyoneI am your only friend. Click here for more information. (MOVED);  Was he really   91, or is that just what the government wants you to believe so that you don''t question his death?CM ;  Mike Rivero still hasn't got settled in to his new house, yet. He'll probably be screaming about it on Monday, though. If not, I'll e-mail it to him for some laughs.   "Tell me who's the real patriots The Archie Bunker slobs waving flags Or the people with the guts to work For some real change?" -- Dead Kennedys   [edited by - Mscgamer on February 6, 2004 2:41:30 PM];  Maybe the essay is completely false, and his death was faked(or not) to give it popularity to spread the lies. ;  I bet Michalson is a government agent trying to spread lies to draw our attention from some REAL conspiracies, like the fact that Microsoft is secretly funding Linux to keep Canada from invading Mars. ;  Tin-foil hatters... sheesh...If I were in a position of power, and I needed a 91 year old man silenced, I''d simply wait a few years for the old fart''s ticker to wheeze to a halt, rather than draw attention to the whole thing with a suspicious death. Afterward, I would turn the big guns of my underlings toward a massive campaign of disinformation, character smearing, and cover-up. Better in the end than piqueing the interest of people with a death from "undisclosed cause".More likely is that the undisclosed reasons are merely natural causes. (Just about anything barring homicide could be considered a natural cause at 91  ). Moorers discourse is already out in the open; silencing him now is like arriving a day late to the grad. party. The house is already wrecked, and all you do is look stupid.But, yes, I''m sure the foil-hat crowd will have their fun.   GolemBlender--The Gimp--Python--Lua--SDLNethack--Crawl--ADOM--Angband--Dungeondweller;  I''ve always thought of most of the people here as tin foil hat people. ;  Secretive conspirators are not stupid. Life isn''t the movies. When you go about to rub someone out to keep them quite, there is a well thought out plan behind it. It doesn''t look fishy unless it''s perpetrated by ametuers, which is highly unlikely.Finally, why give a flying fuck what happens? It''s not like you are going to be able to do anything about it. Why give yourself heartburn over something that A) the majority of people will not believe you about B) you won''t be able to stop happening in the future C) you won''t be able to hold anyone accountable for, and D) won''t affect you in any manner any way. Who gives a shit if some 91 year old man was murder? He was probably going to die the next day anyway.I''d rather work on my game. Live and let live, or as Paul McCartney said, live and let die.
