Nobody, as far as I know, ever claimed credit for shooting down an American airliner. From a terrorist's viewpoint, what is the point of successfully pulling off the most spectacular terror attack in history (till then) if people generally think it was an accident?

That is the question I was about to post.

They didn't have to claim credit. That was the ugliness of the Bent Ones White House. Everything got swept under the rug. Clinton knew who did it and chose to do nothing about it because reelection was the most important thing to the Clintonistas.

It sickens me that "the one who shall go nameless" will get a pass by the MSM.

I clearly remember a reporter on the scene of the downing of TWA 800 saying that the CIA is reporting a lot of 'chatter' right before and immediately after the crash.

That talk was stopped immediately. After all, slick willie had the Olympics to consider.

As far as I can recall, no terrorist organization claimed credit for 9/11 either. It was our own intelligence, after the fact, that made the connection to the terrorists. The Bin Laden video tape that came out a very long time afterwards only affirmed what Al Qaeda had never really publicly announced.

Media squashed the "confessions".

You think the media would "report" anything that would HURT Bill Clintoon?

They were probably busy looking for a way to blame Rush Limbaugh...
