Can there be any doubt that Treason is afoot?
And in public... To security-cleared news people....Written in clear English so all of the simple online translators will ensure the whole damned world knows!
Oh....so THIS is what he meant by “trasparacy”.
What dupes we are.
Sure. We don’t have infinite money and every security decision involves trade-offs.
To outfit every civilian airliner with military-grade anti-missile decoys and defenses would have been insanely expensive. That money could be used in other anti-terrorism ways; for example, hiring more analysts, Arabic translators, more Predators to attack terrorists in Northwest Pakistan, etc.
And also the little known-reality is that MANPADS warheads are small and the odds that a 737 or larger survives a hit from one are pretty good; Even 50% of single-engine fighters survive MANPADS hits. They basically take out an engine. Commercial aircraft are designed to be able to fly after losing an engine and pilots are trained for that emergency.
Dick Cheney canceled the Navy A-12 stealth attack aircraft. Was he a “traitor”?
