The ability to believe the government has always been a subject of discussion. It appears that the current administration deserves credit for achieving such high marks for their ability to deceive the American public. It will take a long time for citizens to regain even the jaundiced esteem enjoyed by the Executive Branch in the past.
While the famous distortions regarding WMDs in Iraq are well-known, it now becomes clear that the basis for backing out of the relationship established by the Clinton administration with the North Korean government in 2002 was faulty. Had we been honest with the level of ignorance within the intelligence community about the status of North Korean, it is possible that some consequences we are now confronting may have been avoided.
