"So...Dick Clarke drew a McVeigh/Nichols connection to Al Qaeda. ...... Well?!?"

Too bad we need a putz like Dick Clark to shield us from tinfoil. Sure, it helps a little to have a slime ball from the other side back you up, due to all the people who worship the slime ball. Now, to reach the FReeping Thomas crowd:

I believe the hundred + witnesses who saw what could be a missile. That's more convincing to me of what happened than anything Dick Clark says. Then there was the lie about the orange RDX chemical being used to test bomb sniffing dogs. When that lie didn't work, they said, "Uups, it was glue." But that lie was discredited by whistle blowers who chemically tested the orange chemical and found out it was not glue. [Those whistle blowers were thrown in jail for 'stealing evidence'.] I believe TWA 800 was no accident in large part because of some of the Mike Reagan programs I was lucky enough to hear. Then there was that goofy computer simulation that showed the plane falling UP. Give me a break.

Then there was the former head of FAA investigations [or some such leadership role] who said that the jet fuel of commercial airlines was made much safer than people might believe. It's more like kerosene than the jet fuel used for military planes. But he was removed and replaced by a new guy, someone who used outdated charts to 'prove' that it could have been a fuel tank explosion. I saw both men sitting in the same hearing room. The new guy admitted that all this was new to him as he showed the House members charts.

I remember that hearing on c-span a long time ago. Traficant stood up, asked angry questions about the bomb sniffing dog fiasco, and then he said, "Something stinks." Traficant was later put in charge of a special TWA oversight commission and ultimately said that there is no way 'so many federal workers could be wrong'. Traficant, IMHO, was intimidated into backing down. Such a conclusion is lame. The previous conclusion that something stinks was right on target.

And and then there was the call to rewire all the commercial jets. Remember that? Congress tried to shake down the airlines a second time by threatening to have all the planes be rewired. That went nowhere, of course. Just another lie. The rewiring did not take place on anything close to large scale, and there was no major disaster afterwards as a result of bad wiring, except perhaps that plane crash right after 9-11-01 that was supposed to be caused by a flock of birds.

When Jayna Davis heard of the TWA 800 disaster on July 17, she connected it immediately to her death threat and the cab driver's arrival in New York, both on July 16. Horrified at the implications, she had to wonder whether she had actually called the team's safe house.

So, a call to the NYC phone utility should have provided an address to correspond with the number. ?!? No follow up?

flock of birds?
