People from the State Department are now conspiracy theorists?

Anyone who propagates conspiracy theories are conspiracy theorists. Who they works for is completely irrelevant.

How should someone from the government or Council on Foreign Relations (http://www.cfr.org/about/membership/roster.html?letter=P) speak up if something is BS? -- it's not often that they do.

Council Shmouncil. It's self-claimed "nonpartisan resource for information and analysis". Which means they can BS as much as anyone on internet.

What's the State Department?
