(53,410 posts)I think Rachel's team chose deliberately to keep it simple because most Americans don't know what was really going on. First you present just enough to get them interested in what might have happened. If you present too much, such as PNAC it just sounds like a crazy conspiracy theory coming from wackos. When your aim is to expose the truth which is going to be very painful to accept, it's best to do it in smaller doses.
Even here on DU where we are determined to find the truth it was very painful, and it took us a while to admit that things like the media sellout and the lies were deliberate. Waking up to the truth is a process, and it entails steps, like the five stages of grief. Too much at once will just shut people down and they will refuse to listen.
