And the fact they did what they did openly indicates they're telling the truth. Your take on this is that it's merely coincidence that they did what they did as a group, and photographed it. I say, if they honestly believed they were getting away with something that they knew would get them in trouble, they would have been putting those hoods over their own heads, get it?

I don't think you're saying they should argue
mistake of law, right? You're trying to say their universal belief indicates the belief was accurate. Someone high up "permitted or encouraged. what they did as a group, and to photographed it."
But just like bush lied, you have a motive problem. What possible reason would someone higher up the food chain encourage the photos?
