Considering your arguments on how important it is to find the evidence,
could you believe it if it were found? I'm certain that if they decide
to invade that they will announce proofs. But I doubt whether the
proofs will be checkable independant of sources that benefit from their
being correct. This doesn't mean that the evidence is faked, it means
that being certain that it isn't is... dubious.
In this way it is like most of history. Pravda, I am told, means "the
official word", with a secondary meaning of "the truth". And in Egypt
the Goddess Maat is called the goddess of Truth, but was actually the
goddess of "the party line".
