and Bill Clinton's immediate appointment of Algore to lead a committee to investigate and review airport security in the aftermath of Flight 800 is very telling.

And that committee came up with very stringent measures for airport security and the Airlines screamed bloody murder until Gore backed down and let them off only to have 9/11 happen. I think Tommy Daschle's wife had her hand in this also...

I wouldn't characterize Gore's behavior as backing down - selling out is more like it. He received $500,000 in campaign contributions from the airline industry while agreeing not to enforce the stringent security changes.

BTW, John Kerry is the only US Senator to refer to TWA800 as a terrorist act on TWO separate occasions.

Can we bump all day.......this reminder that Gore had recommended the cockpit doors be hardened, only to back down in return for substantial campaign donations?

We wonder what Kristen Breitweisser's band of wicked widows would have to say about this fact.

You're absolutely right about Daschle and his wife being involved in that. Those stringent measures "might" have prevented 9/11 or at the very least made it more difficult to accomplish.

I am also waiting to hear about the "suicidal" Egyptian pilot with the 50 Egyptian generals on board that took a nosedive into the Atlantic right after takeoff from New York. Hope to live long enough on that one.
