Do you mean:
Isaac Yeffet, who served as head of global security for Israel’s national carrier in the 1980s and now works as an aviation security consultant in New Jersey, told Times of Israel investigators were correct in honing in on the two fake-passport carrying Iranian passengers on the doomed flight, and they have wasted valuable time by exploring other leads.
“What happened to this aircraft, nobody knows. My guess is based upon the stolen passports, and I believe Iran was involved,” he said. “They hijacked the aircraft and they landed it in a place that nobody can see or find it.”
So do you think he would have been allowed to say this if there were not intelligence sources involved that also had this concern/belief?
They're not like us with dingheads like Lurch and McCain spouting this or that thing here and there on a whim.
