My, my, what a bunch of conspiracy hounds... I remember an organization called the John Birch society back when I was a kid... I don't know if its still around, but my did they ever major in conspiracies.
There is enough holes in all this conjecture to drive freightliners through.
We still don't know at this point whether the Schueler of the book and the Shueler of the hologram are two people or if they are one and the same.
We don't know if there was really daylight between Schueler and Chihiro, or that Langhorne would have disapproved of what happened after his death.
What we do know is that there seems to be a divergence between Shueler as presented in the holo and the one who wrote the book that bears his name. Whether they are really different or simply two faces of the same individual we have no way to guess.
What we know is that St. Khody went to Zion to visit with Schueler and died there. In all probability it was murder. Schueler has to be the number one suspect since he went to talk to Schueler. Beyond that, our conjecture departs into fantasy.
What we do know is that Commodore Pei believed that Langhorne ordered the strike on the Alexandria enclave. While there are other possibilities, there is not yet any convincing evidence to reverse that belief.
Judging from the textev, we know that there apparently some confusion about who did what to whom in the aftermath of the strike on the Alexandria enclave. There seems to be an attempt to assert Langhorne's innocence, but as of this moment, not enough has been presented to give credibility to that assertion.
Personally? I think Commodore Pei was right and I wouldn't trust the rest of that crowd even so much as an eyelash.
