I fucking remember this! The media coverage was insane nonsense. No one in an official position would say it was deliberate, but they always made sure to also point out that no mistakes were made in any part of the mission that led to the embassy being bombed. There were no admissions of having bad maps, bad intel, or a miscommunication. I was just in high school then, but I remember pulling my hair out reading these horrible articles that just pretended like there was no need for an idiot like me to know whether or not the attack on the embassy was deliberate.

Anyway, the embassy bombing led directly to the hatching of my brainworms. The eggs had been planted by having already read a little Marx.
