Leon Panetta Just Characterized TWA 800 as Terrorism

Posted on 10/10/2005 11:22:13 AM PDT by Flightdeck

Martha MacCallum was just interviewing former Clinton Chief of Staff Leon Panetta about Louis Freeh's new book slamming the old administration on terror response. Panetta defended pitifully by saying they always had a "serious view" concerning this stuff "whether it be Oklahoma City or the Olympics bombing or the flight off New York City".

TWA 800 was not caused by a spontaneous fuel tank explosion. This is the fourth or fifth time a high-level Clinton staffer/senator has characterized TWA as a terrorist attack. We deserve to know what happened.

It would be nice if Hillary's campaign ran up against those rocks.

Nothing new here, only the admission might be considered to be new.

John Kerry also referred to Flight #800 as a terror attack.

He was on a panel of four on Hardball and no one contradicted his statement.

Everyone KNEW, but slick willie didn't want to respond and his cohorts in the media went along with the lie.

Remember Hall accidently being overboard one of the search ships?

Remember Kallstrom resigning?

Oh, they KNEW, alright.

The part where the pilot prays to Allah on while gripping the controls pretty much tells the real story.

I'm certainly no tin-foil conspiracy theorist, but the explanation that TWA 800 was caused by a random spark penetrating the fuel tank is truly beyond absurd.

It was treated as potentially terrorist related. That's what drew the FBI in.

I am sceptical of the official conclusions, but Panetta's comments don't sway me as any sort of admission.

Maybe this is clinton's way of telling the FBI to shut up. Shut up about my treason or I will let the beans spill on the 800 cover up.

That was the Egypt Air flight...could that be what he is referring to?

And, I've never heard that terrorist attack called terrorism.

I expect, if pressed, Mr. Panetta would respond by saying "we investigated this to discover IF TWA 800 was a terrorist act, and concluded it was not."...or words to this effect...

No one wanted to confront Clinton on these type of issues...he had a habit of making them disappear...if you get my drift.

Must have been the fuel tank thing, none since cause they fixed the "problem". Now if another one combusts, they will find another "problem".

Are we sure that he was not referring to Egyptair flight 990?

A good friend of mine works as an investigator for NTSB. I was visiting him last year (the day before the election) and he assured me that the explosion was NOT caused by terrorists. I told him thanks but I will remain skeptical.
