Shilohcat,
Normally, I would also accept the incompetence theory...
I didn't use the word 'incompeten[t],' although it surely applies in certain ways. Rather, I specifically indicated inefficiency, the bureaucratic self-preservation instinct, and unrealistic expectations as contributing factors toward an apparent...and I'd emphasize again, indefensible...resistance to an investigation.
If there is a cover-up, what makes you believe that an investigation would reveal it? That is, as most conspiracy theories hold, this one goes "right to the top," an investigation wouldn't be similarly tainted? It seems a bit contradictory to jump to the conclusion that the government is covering something up, but that essentially the same government would reveal itself via an investigation; indeed, given the theories about 9/11, an independent investigation would seem unlikely if possible at all.
Unless, of course, we assume adding to the layers of conjecture that structure the conspiracy theory.
...but I am troubled by the apparent eagerness of the administration for us to adopt this view.
How has the administration shown "eagerness" toward the public adopting the view that it's incompetent. (Not, of course, that in many ways it isn't.)
