It's actually amazing, if you have a story and documentation and its a bombshell to a point that it makes you question the accuracy due to your own belief structure (id est FOIA responses are required to be truthful, courts are always impartial, etc); the biggest problem is actually finding someone whom is willing to look up from their smart phone long enough to listen to a non-trivial story. What an incredibly indifferent society we've become.
