The readers can review everything Reed Irvine said on that subject, from start to finish, by clicking here, the only place on the internet that has it all in one webpage. His closing comments about his own bellyflop and the alleged sailor whistleblower were as follows:
"He lied to me, and I regret having been deceived by him. But his lie is nothing compared to our government’s lies about TWA 800. The establishment media spread those lies. They refuse to do what I have done—check the evidence and admit that they have been deceived."
What Reed Irvine obviously should have done is "check the evidence" before he published the first article.
