I'm more convinced than ever that the TWA 800 was an Iraqi stinger missile type operation that was covered up. I believe it was covered up so as to not allow the terrorists to use it for propaganda purposes and also to not panic the American people.

I tend to agree with you. We have compromised our principles from the day that we let Arafat hijack 3 American airliners and burn them to the ground in the desert. By refusing to meet the challenge head-on, we have allowed the terrorists to continue these acts for 25 years. The Beruit bombing, Khobar Towers bombing, Cole bombing, Pan Am 103 were but a few of the increasingly bolder acts of violence against us. This time it must stop.

Not long after the event the WSJ published a report of a radar tape showing an unidentified vessel racing away from the crash scene as other vessels went in the other direction to assist in the 'rescue'.

According to the article the FBI was not able to ID that boat.

Although I do not buy the 'coverup' angle -- I'm a fundamental believer in incompetence -- the fact that that boat has never been located and the tape never denied is very worrisome.
