Sure. You can wonder all you want why someone suspects another.
I'm not necessarily particularly trustworthy myself, only honest,
caring, somewhat responsible, rather ethical and moral. Oh wait, I am
trustworthy.
People have even circumstantial evidence that, in this case for example,
that the administration has lied and misrepresented fact to further aims
that aren't necessarily good for us or other people. Now I need some
evidence that the administration has lied, how about Iran/Contra. Heh,
Clin-ton was impeached for lying about trivia.
I'm kind of disgusted. That really sums up a lot of my opinion about
the administration since 9/11, disgusted.
Here's some quotes out of context from a news article:
Bush: "not going to fool anybody", "He deceives, he delays, he denies."
Lott: "getting worse all the time"
Rumsfeld: "it will be too late"
Fleischer, quoting Butler: "would not have 'a snowball's chance in
hell'"
"One Republican strategist said the language would be carefully
calibrated to avoid hurting the administration's cause before the United
Nations."
"Earlier this week, a senior economic adviser to Mr. Bush estimated that
war with Iraq could cost $100 billion to $200 billion, though the White
House has since distanced itself from that estimate."
Cheney is a corporate crook. The evidence I have to think that is that
people stood up at one his speeches and started shouting it.
