My nose suggests to me that the authorities are lying, that they'd like to make him seem a hair more random/crazy than he actually is, and they don't want to give airtime to the political criticisms he was making in his interrogation.
I will resolve to "the authorities were not lying OR september 1st isn't long enough for the truth to come out" unless something leaks or they update the world, if you supply any variation on that theme I will not resolve to it.
