The above article does not as far as I can see suggest that the Polish government's lawyer used or even implied the use of the word "conspiracy". I wonder therefore why the National Post uses the word in its headline. The effect of this headline seems to me to be to discredit the lawyer: conspiracy theorists are usually the butt of laughter and contempt. I further suspect that the National Post, which seems to me to have very conservative (right-wing) leanings in its editorial outlook, would seek any opportunity to discredit someone who finds flaws in what many of us believe to be the heavy-handed and unjustified violence used by Canadian law enforcement agencies on all too many occasions
