All of the "news" stories I find are mostly quoting politicians... where's all of the hard evidence? Is this stuff available? If it is, shouldn't we be looking at that before this goes any further? I'd like to start seeing some facts about this incident.

It becomes more and more obvious that information and communication are extremely important. When you take them away people can justify anything including wars (without having to rely on facts or science to prove allegations).
