Ther are two main reasons the CLintonistas covered up what was undoubtedly a terrorist attack on TWA flight 800 by a group with strong connections to Iraqi intelligence:

1) The financial viability of the airlines was
was very much a concern with the revelation
of a terror attack possibly acting as a
negative catalyst on an industry struggling to
recover from a long recessionary period,

2) Clinton's appeasement-by-law-enforcement policy
which always sought to reduce state sponsored
terror activities to relatively low level
criminal conspiracies which should be addressed
by the FBI rather than DOD, the CIA and the
State Deparment.

The obstinate obtuseness of the Clinton administration to connect the dots between the Khobar tower bobmbing, the attack on the embassy in Africa, the bombing of the USS Cole and the downing of TWA flight 800 was a form of craven appeasement that led directly to the 9/11 plane attacks. Rich Lowry's new book details this failed Clinton policy with nauseating exactness.

Very insightful.

Is Kahlstrom (sp) a Clintonista?

He didn't do a very good job of investigating and rooting out the terrorists after the first WTC bombing.

Then he was put in charge of investigating TWA 800. Again, a not-so-thorough investigation.

I don't trust this man.
