Do you believe the official story?

Here's a recap:

Staff Sgt. Bales is accused of sneaking out of his combat outpost and single-handedly conducting a cold-blooded massacre of men, women and children in two remote villages outside of Kandahar, Afghanistan on the night of March 11, nearly 8 months ago.

The reason for this thread is because his wife in on the front page of the News today

" A midnight call that night from her husband, she says, confirms to her that even Robert Bales does not know what really happened.

"He was like, 'What? What you talking about?' He had, he knew that something was going on, but did not know the extent of what was going on, and I was actually the one that had told him how many people had died, and that included women and children, and he was blown away. He did not know the details as they had been portrayed in the press."

Yeah, I totally believe the wife.

Also, let me give you a pro-tip: If a news "story" is titled in a question, that question will not be answered in the story.

Regarding the "other side":

Quote :

"The two Afghan officials, however, told The Associated Press on Wednesday (local time) that accounts of many gunmen were based on hearsay. "To my knowledge, everybody in the villages said only that somebody had told them that they had seen several foreign troops in the villagers where the shootings occurred," said Fazal Mohammad, the top government official for Panjwai district. "But nobody personally said that they had seen a group of troops in this incident. The evidence collected from the villagers was not enough to confirm that there was more than one shooter. I personally met many different people there, but I never found a single person who personally saw a number of foreign troops." Mohammad also said that he suspected that insurgents may have been trying to take advantage of the shooting incident. "It is possible that some people were passing around information," he said. "It is time for Afghanistan to calm down and not let the insurgents take advantage of this case. They want foreign troops to leave such areas like this so they can hold those areas. We should be aware of their intentions and try to help the government, not the insurgents." Sardar Mohammad Nazari, chief of police for Panjwai district, also said that he never found one person who had seen a group of foreign troops with their own eyes. "

I'm betting they're part of the conspiracy too.

How would his wife know anything that actually happened? How is her reciting what her husband told her any more credible than her husband's own defense? How does GeniusXBoy filter likely and unlikely stories except by associating catchphrases like "What the MSM wont report" with credibility?

I give you all the material you need in order to make a reasonable conclusion, yet you don't use it and then ask stupid questions.
