"What is the motive for this intense effort that I've seen by a few posters on this site?"

Advocacy of the truth. The Clinton Administration did plenty of illegal things in its eight years. Clinton ought to be in jail for many reasons. But if we lurch out on unproven conspiracy theories that would involve the illegal participation of a lot more than just the Clinton Administration, we trash a lot of innocent parties and shoot ourselves in the foot. The strongest weapon in the quiver of the new media is a strong adherence to demanding facts and not relying on bogus or wrong information (ala Dan Rather). If we allow ourselves to be duped by the shabby nonsense posited by conspiracy theory con artists, we do more damage to ourselves than anyone else.

Rokke, I would agree with you, but what I am hearing from you is not quite correct. Proof is subjective, but evidence is objective. That said, some evidence is more weighty. You accept as evidence the testimony of eyewitnesses regarding one event, but then reject it regarding TWA 800. As an example, I did not see the video made on the night TWA 800 was shot down, but I did hear about it the next morning, and I kept looking for it. I do not have any doubt it existed at that time. However, you reject out of hand the testimony of those who saw it. Mind you, I am not saying what they saw was a missile going up to hit the plane, but simply that they did see the video.
