"Come on this was the guy that try to spin OKC as the main stream right wing and Rush's fault..."

Bill Clinton was/is a ruthless/sociopathic political animal. No doubt, and I like a good conspiracy as much as the next guy, but as a former active duty officer, I can assure you, military soldiers/airmen do not walk lock-step with whomever the president is. They have their own opinions and if something "strange" had occurred, I believe that there wouldn't be some silent cabal working perfectly to keep the story line together all these years. If I would have seen it, and someone with dark glass and dark suit telling me that it is in the "nations interest" to keep a lid on the SAM launch, I would have patronized the guy for the moment, and then hit the talk shows the next day. So, I'm open-minded and would be willing to consider any possible proposal. At a minimum, the dead deserve it. What was the final, final "official" story for the explosion? Former press secretary Pierre Salinger apparently thought something strange happened? But who wants to be lumped in with him? Sorta like Charlie Sheen believing that Bush blew up the twin towers in a controlled blast.

Then why did Clinton sign EO 13039 to exclude the Navy divers from whistleblower protection right after accusations were made that it was a missile?

Link to the order that now appears online.

Executive Order 13039—Exclusion of the Naval Special Warfare Development Group From the Federal Labor-Management Relations Program

Link to article describing it's disappearance.

The Missing TWA Executive Order Accuracy In Media August 4, 1998

One piece of the evidence, which helps illustrate the cover-up charge, is a presidential executive order issued shortly after accusations were being made in the press that the plane was shot down by a missile. Bill Donaldson identified the executive order as number 13039, dated March 11, 1997, and said it removed whistleblower protection from Navy personnel who had been involved in the salvage operation. It was designed to keep quiet about what they may have found.

You might be asking where you could find a copy of this particular executive order in order to do some investigation of your own. There are several White House sites on the World Wide Web where executive orders are supposed to be listed. We went to both of them, and could not find it. In the chronological listing of these documents, there is no number 13039. It is missing.

However, our search on the Internet turned up the missing executive order number 13039. It was posted on one of several sites dealing with the TWA crash. We subsequently confirmed with officials in the White House that such an executive order does, in fact, exist. However, we could find no reason why it has disappeared from the official list.

The order is titled, "Exclusion of the Naval Special Warfare Development Groups From the Federal Labor-Management Relations Program." This is a law that provides a mechanism for workers to report wrongdoing without fear of reprisal. In other words, whistleblower protection. Clinton excluded them from this law on national security and intelligence grounds.
