Typical conspiracy advocate. Rather than admitting your comments regarding the Eastwind Airlines pilot were wrong, and that the NTSB report included all the information you say it ignores...you leap to the next subject in the hopes that I'll just forget all your other wrong statements. You want to talk about Fred Meyer now? No problem. He's one of my favorites. His story has shifted more times than John F'n Kerry's. We can spend all the time you want talking about Meyer.

Actually, I've tried to address your points. And I did comment about the NTSB report you cited. Maybe you could give me more than ten minutes to respond?

The Peanut Gallery (And there is a Peanut Gallery! One of them sent me an email to cheer me on last night.) will note that you said no witnesses said there was a "missile" (as if it matters that a woman might describe it as a "flair") and I send you a link to a video of a former combat pilot saying it was miltary ordinance and in typical liberal fashion you lash out with an ad-hominen suggestion that this pilot is as trustworty as John Kerry. (I hope you're not using the NTSB report as some reference about what Meyer, whom they also did not identify or quote, has said in the past. But in a confusing section that follows the one you directed my attention to in the NTSB report there is reference the "witnesses in the HH-60 Helicopter," one of whom was Meyer though you cannot tell this from the report. I wonder why?)

"The Peanut Gallery (And there is a Peanut Gallery!)"

Hmmmm. If I was prone to believing in such things, I would suspect some kind of conspiracy involved in your participation on this thread. One wonders why "the Peanut Gallery" doesn't have the courage just to participate on this thread themselves.

"you said no witnesses said there was a "missile" "

That isn't what I said. In fact, I specifically pointed out that witness #73 describes a missile that magically circles TWA 800 before impacting a wing she couldn't have seen. But more to the point, it is the conspiracy advocates that falsely claim, over and over again that hundreds of witnesses reported seeing a missile strike TWA 800. Almost nobody suggested what they saw was a missile. And even fewer reported seeing anything actually strike TWA 800. That claim is just one more line of BS from conspiracy advocates.

"I send you a link to a video of a former combat pilot saying it was miltary ordinance and in typical liberal fashion you lash out with an ad-hominen suggestion that this pilot is as trustworthy as John Kerry."

I asked if you wanted to discuss his testimony. It is as trustworthy as John Kerry's. To start with, he clearly states in his initial interviews that nothing he saw resembled a missile. And since you probably haven't read it, here is a transcript of his interview with the NTSB. Maj Meyers

And oh, by the way, here is the complete transcript of Capt McClaine's interview with the NTSB. Capt McClaine
