Which a lot of people for some reason took as straight, in which I project what OCTists and others might say to cover themselves.

But seriously? I don't think the present government would survive such a revelation, and the reaction would be closer to People Power than to civil warfare. However, it very much depends on what gets revealed and who believes what. I think even a minor admission could set off a chain reaction bringing out the rest (and no, the media could not ignore it), but then, time is a bitch, it changes the focus, and who knows how it will play. Ten years after Gary Webb's articles, even the LA Times is running editorials blasting how LAT and others covered up and assassinated the man's rep, but has this led to full exposure? Trials of the CIA officials who sponsored drug-dealing assets? An end to such operations? Or even more oversight? Ha.
