When I see former FBI New York honcho Jim Kallstrom appear on Fox News, I see a tortured soul. As boldly honest as he has been on the subject of Islamic terrorism, this once honorable man has lived a lie for the last twenty years on the subject of TWA Flight 800. Others have lived the lie as well, but none so personally.
It was Kallstrom who spoke to the press, Kallstrom who testified at congressional hearings, Kallstrom who consoled the families of the 230 dead with the assurance he would leave “no stone unturned” in his pursuit of the truth.
When Kallstrom arrived on the scene in Long Island the day after the crash in July 1996, the truth was indeed what he was seeking. By July 30, 1996 -- less than two weeks after the 747 blew up -- FBI agents had interviewed 144 “excellent” witnesses to a missile strike. As revealed in a recently unearthed CIA memo, the evidence was “overwhelming” and the witness testimony “too consistent” for the cause of the plane’s destruction to be anything other than a missile.
1996 being an election year, however a missile strike on an American airliner involved far too much political risk for the Clinton White House. Working through the CIA, its operatives took effective control of the investigation. For reasons only he knows, Kallstrom knuckled under.

Rush says Kallstrom is a trusted friend. I sort of feel Rush is a trusted friend, but when he's obviously wrong, I will call him out as I do here.

And you can't. But that doesn't surprise me given your past posts on this topic.
Which is what?
Obviously because it was radar guided to the center of mass (thus enabling the center fuel tank cover story, where that wouldn’t be possible with a heat seeking engine hit). But you made a good point - the missile wasn’t a heat seeker, so that gives info on what it could be - and what was needed to launch it. Thanks.
...
According to the NTSB, the very same air conditioning packs below the center tank, which helped make the vapor in the tank flammable by heating, would have been a viable target for a heat seeking missile.
It seems the engines would have been way hotter, though.
In my non-expert opinion I think an engine would be a more likely target, but the NTSB specifically said the air conditioning packs would have been a sufficient target, too.
...and if pressed, I'd bet money he'd claim that they are white supremacists and patriot militias.
IMO, Kallstrom is a POS of the highest order.
You really have no idea what you are talking about...but then again, that has never stopped you before.
Did you see the video the night of the shoot down? If you didn’t you are blowing smoke. I watched the video before it went down the rabbit hole, no doubt in my mind it was a missile.
The Russians thought it was a good idea and have had it since 1982. That’s why I think the Russians did it.
If you are talking about the low-light video shot inside the military aircraft cockpit, I saw it also....and yes, it has gone down the rabbit hole!
That’s the one
I wish I could remember exactly what was said in that video. I only saw it once. But I do remember that they had an “Oh shit!” moment, though prolly not using those exact words.
It must have been on either CBS, NBC or ABC because at that time I did not have cable, so it was an over the air broadcast.
On several TWA 800 threads I’ve asked if anyone else saw that video. YOU are the ONLY one to have answered in the affirmative.
PING.
