This is utter bullcrap. Same as demolition charges in the World Trade Center. Its a fantasy to say a USN missile could be fired from a ship and kept secret.

The FBI took over from NTSB because everyone was SURE it HAD to be an attack because it was in conjunction with the Atlanta Olympics. So they rushed in just like they did with Richard Jewell.

I want someone to explain to me how a USN missile was fired from a ship, and the crew didn’t know, or kept it secret. Fantasy crap like this is why people think conservatism is stupid.

...

My understanding is the investigations were initially in parallel. The NTSB put out the official report with some of the FBI and CIA findings included.

Well you're not the only one with great understanding of how the military works to have absolutely zero faith in any of its members to follow orders to keep their mouths shut. Seems the more people "know," the less they think duty, honor and country can survive a few beers.

But I will say this - IF the US Navy didn't actually fire that missile, then they damn sure know who did. Because they had all sorts of assets in the area where it was fired from, conducting Aegis combat coordination drills no less. So if twenty ships and several billion dollars in combat technology can't track or stop a couple of rag heads from firing a SAM from a fishing boat, then we should just shut down the Navy altogether and call it a day.
