SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 : (REFERENCES BY OFFICIALS TO TWA FLIGHT 800 AS A TERRORIST INCIDENT, INCLUDING ADMISSION BY SENATOR JOHN KERRY) In the weeks following Sept. 11, 2001, several political insiders referred to the destruction of Flight 800 as a terrorist incident. But only one did it twice. That person is Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts. Appearing on Larry King Live on Sept. 11 itself, Kerry suggested that TWA Flight 800 was brought down by a terrorist act. - "Why did Al Gore really drop out?

SEPTEMBER 24, 2001 : (ANOTHER REFERENCE TO TWA FLIGHT 800 BEING A TERRORIST INCIDENT BY SENATOR JOHN KERRY) On Sept. 24, on Hardball with Chris Matthews, the authors watched as Kerry casually recited a number of terrorist attacks against the United States, among them TWA "Flight 800." Like Larry King before him, Chris Matthews either did not catch the remark or chose to let it pass. If the first admission seemed more or less innocent and accidental, the second one had to be purposeful. Indeed, Kerry's office took and responded to calls about his remarks on Flight 800 after the first incident. If a mistake, it seems highly unlikely that it could have happened again. But it did. - "Why did Al Gore really drop out? Cashill & Sanders suggest Kerry was willing to expose subversion," by Jack Cashill & James Sanders, WorldNetDaily.com , Tuesday, December 17, 2002
