Kathy Sanders: 作为俄克拉荷马城爆炸案的受害者家属,我亲身经历了那场悲剧带来的巨大痛苦。我的两个孙子在那次袭击中丧生,这让我对真相的渴望变得无比强烈。然而,随着调查的深入,我开始对政府的调查产生怀疑。一些目击者声称在爆炸前看到了炸弹小组,但政府却否认了这一说法。更令人困惑的是,FBI最初声称存在“John Doe No. 2”,但后来又撤回了这一说法。这些矛盾之处让我对政府的诚信产生了严重的质疑。我开始自己寻找真相,收集证据,并与记者合作,希望能够揭开爆炸案背后的真相。我相信,只有找到真相,才能让受害者得到真正的安息,才能重建公众对政府的信任。我永远不会放弃对真相的追寻,即使这意味着要与魔鬼共舞。 Andrew Gumbel: 作为一名调查记者,我深入研究了俄克拉荷马城爆炸案的各种记录和报告。我发现,政府在调查过程中面临着巨大的压力,他们急于找到罪犯并给受害者家属一个交代。然而,这种压力可能导致他们忽略了一些重要的线索和证据。例如,关于“John Doe No. 2”的说法,以及在废墟中发现的额外腿,这些都指向了可能存在其他参与者的可能性。然而,政府似乎更倾向于将McVeigh和Nichols描绘成孤独的策划者,从而简化了案件的复杂性。我认为,政府在调查过程中应该更加开放和透明,而不是为了维护自身的形象而掩盖真相。只有这样,才能真正还原历史,给受害者家属一个公正的交代。

Shownotes Transcript

We all want the truth — but how exactly do we know when something's true? Often, the answer relates to evidence or proof, something capable of convincing us and easing our doubts. But whether or not different kinds of proof are accepted can vary widely by person and situation. On this episode, we explore proof and evidence, and how it affects our perception of what is true.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoices)NPR Privacy Policy)
