Immediately after the plane was struck, separatists were crowing about having shot down a military transport plane. I forget the type of plane, but it had the exact same shape, just much smaller, as the passenger jet. I never had any doubt that separatists shot it down. But what is key is that the plane flew over a war zone, and was mistaken for a military plane.
I went looking for the news story I just reported. Instead, I found this incredible news story: what the UKRAINIAN GOVERNMENT claims proves that the rebels shot down the MH17, but also proves it was a MISTAKE, not part of some grand Putin conspiracy to slaughter innocent people.
