The US government lies whenever it's convenient. They lied about the inciting event to start the Vietnam War (Gulf of Tonking incident) and they lied about the WMDs that were supposedly justification for starting the war in Iraq. These are just a few examples of the lies they've told, to which they've admitted. Knowing that, why should they earn the benefit of the doubt?
