4. The NSA is competent, and has good reason to carry out a false-flag operation.
As far as I can gather, only the CIA and FBI have published statements pointing to North Korea. I believe the NSA to be competent, but I have seen members of the US government lie repeatedly in the recent past.
Regarding Iraq, we know now that the US government lied and/or misrepresented facts regarding chemical weapons, biological weapons, and uranium enrichment programs. We know from recent revelations that the CIA considered, planned, and approved of false-flag operations in Cuba in the 1960s. Given this history, we should not rule out the possibility that the US intelligence agencies are misleading the American public intentionally to achieve their own goals, independent of the facts.
