Draco Cronnoc II
Justice is what will ultimately dictate history. You wipe sweat off your eyebrow, knowing what you are about to say will shock the world and also cause an uproar against the US worldwide.
Before you begin, you weigh your chances. If you can say what's needed fast enough, the Army won't have a chance to kill you. If they did it'd set off an even larger firestorm and incriminate them. You'll essentially be immune.
The real danger lies in not getting enough out. If anyone who knows what you could say suspects you're going to say it, they could shoot you and then be caught as a normal terrorist. They could simply say they killed you so you wouldn't hurt Red Exterior. It'd be so simple.
So you must choose your words carefully. You decide to use the big from the get-go. No prologue.
"It is not Red Exterior alone that is responsible for the five attacks but the Army itself in co-operation with Red Exterior. And to the Army: do not kill me now, for that will prove your guilt. Let me talk to lessen your pain."
You take in deep breath and sigh. The dangerous part was done. You haven't been shot, and you won't die. It'd just make it worse for the Army.
"The US Army utilized the services of Red Exterior to eliminate an inconvenient truth. The prescense of five men who together made up a Vietnam-War squadron threatened US soldier's safety in foreign lands, so they just killed them."
You go on to explain the whole story, all the while becoming more cofident and calm.
