Apparently their journalistic ethics may have been trumped by the liberal ethics to protect a Democrat President's re-election chances...
I need a better explanation of:
"Despite a series of phone calls, Sanders could not persuade the technician to hand over the tape. His fear was palpable enough, however, to convince Sanders that he was telling the truth."
The video only needs be made public and then the technician has nothing to fear. He is only in danger if he keeps it quiet while keeping the tape. That's why this claim makes little sense in this article.
Bump for later this morning; back to sleep, cats are fed.
If any of you are looking for a great political thriller, Jack Cashill has written it. It is called:
2006: The Chautauqua Rising
For more info, go here: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0967235715/103-9483700-2527036
When I got to about page 30, I couldn't put the book down. It's fiction and Algore is in his second term as president. Lots of twists and turns and suspense. Everyone that I know who read it, loved it.

Thanks.
There has been hideousness for centuries on the part of even the best governments.
However, during Dillbo and Shrillery's reign, new lows were reached in the land of the fadingly free.
Jack Cashill ping! A snapshot of the media's role in the sticky web of government coverups.
Was the missile launched from the grassy knoll?
That does not surprise me in the least. That is BILL CLINTON'S MO! Clinton was THE PERSON most helped by covering up TWA 800.
bump.
<< Was the missile launched from the grassy knoll? >>
Of course it was.
/sarcasm
The loss of the Boeing B-747 which operated as Trans World Airline Flight TW-800 JFK-CDG on On July 18 1996 was caused by a walked-on terrorist bomb.
There was coverup and it was master-minded within the Cli'ton/Gore administration, overseen by Gore and effected by the FBI, FAA and NTSB.
There was no missile and the fact one is being talked about nine years after the atrocity of that day speaks only to the efficacy of the mis-and-dis-information-manipulated cover-up -- for which the Cli'ton Gang was well compensated -- and because of which responsibility for the even-worse atrocities of September 11 2001 sheets home to the Cli'ton Gang and to the airlines that -- to save the money and incovenience they would have incurred in bringing security up to standard -- paid them off.
There sure are a lot of unanswered questions out there regarding TWA 800. Assuming there is more to the story, WHY hasn't it been revealed, either at the time or with the change in administration.
Consider the explanations:
1) U.S. military shot it down - If this is revealed, what is the result? Horrible accident, very sorry, compensation, new safeguards, etc.
2) Terrorists shot it down or bombed it - Sorry we didn't reveal this because of National Security, didn't want a panic or cancellation of Olympics, etc. - If revealed now, the result: You see the terrorists were at work even then, we need to stop them, etc. Yes there would be political ramifications for not revealing this, and blame for not doing more to prevent 911, but that administration is gone.
Even if the reason for the Clinton administration cover-up was to cover up the cover-up, why did the Bush administration not reveal what it found out on taking office? So it could further advance a cover-up?
So right now, unless more real evidence, such as the video in question, comes out, the most reasonable explanation is the official one - accident. But you gotta keep digging.

Ping for later.
I dont buy the missile theory at it would be too hard to cover up. However a shoe bomber over the center fuel tank would explain a lot of things and only a small number of people would has access to the information.
