I applaud Salt Lake City, Utah lawyer Jesse Trentadue for pressing on with his investigation of his brother Kenneth Trentadue, whom he believes was killed while in federal custody following the April 19, 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah federal building here in Oklahoma City.
Reports Deseret News reporter Geoffrey Fatah from Denver: A Salt Lake City attorney's quest to prove his brother was murdered while in federal custody received a boost from judges in the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals, who expressed serious concern over an alleged government cover-up of the case.
"This is a terrible case," said 10th Circuit Judge Robert Henry during oral arguments Wednesday. "The federal government doesn't look well for it."
--END--
But in the end, will anyone face any reprimands, firings, trials or consequences of any sort? With the government's track record these days, don't bet on it. I mean they redact, black out and cover up all sorts of damning information, just check out this nugget midway through the story:
Justice Department attorney Peter Maier said that report (regarding Trentadue's complaint) was part of the council's deliberative process and should not be made public. Maier said government officials need protection from the public domain in order to allow them to be candid. Making such information public would only discourage the free flow of
information.
If that isn't Orwellian, I don't know what is. And we're asked to TRUST our government.
