Forgive me for the lack of depth in my analysis, because I haven't followed this issue closely. But this is how I see it.

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.

To ask this question shows you do not know how Washington works. You first lesson is that it is not about party.

So, are you saying it was an accident caused by the CWT explosion?
