Situational truthfulness? I'm just a simple civil servant; but if I lie I could and should lose my job. When it comes to values, where is the line in the sand drawn? Or does it shift with this or that advocacy or political inclination?
To generalize the misdeeds of others, shroud the jury with a cloak of blame, and imply that justice has tainted because of the inherent "original sin" of a government is an over simplification. What evidence exists that the jury, judge or prosecutor acted improper?
