If you're as smart as you seem to think you are, then why are you wasting your valuable time posting here?

[pistola]

Pehraps four or five of the migratory type European swallows with some type of basket or netting held between them could achieve the wind/speed velocity to pull of the attack.

[anniegetyourgun]

And the motivation for the alleged lying to the public?

[Yankee]

Well, I agree I don't see any true evidence that proves a coverup,

One thing about a successful coverup is that you won't see any true evidence of it.

How do you know that she is a witch?

Well, she turned me into a newt.

A newt?

Well...I got better.

[afz400]

Good question. And why did Life conveniently rearrange the film's sequencing when it printed the still frames?

[Map Kernow]

I know I'm still waiting. But I'm not sure it really matters what happened in this case. Apparently no one on FR will believe the final report, choosing instead to assign baseless motives.

Click here for Robert Novak's November 13 column on the motivation for a possible cover-up of a terrorist cause for the Flt. 587 crash ("Another blow to the economy, and maybe the GOP"). But then again, maybe you consider even such a distinguished columnist a "conspiracy theorist." And I thought only the Democrats had been "Clintonized"....

[Yankee]

Oh yeah mate.

Four or five, yeah.

But not two, never.

That's what I'm on about.

It's not clear why the FBI has not yet released the MTA video -- or even commented on what it shows.

They haven't had time to doctor it properly yet.

[callisto]

The part of this that bothers me is that the first day it was noted in a press conference that the airplane that took off prior to Flight 587 was 8 miles in front of it. This number is not in agreement with the NTSB's statement of the distance parameters behind and below the first plane in which the vortex should extend. No matter the angle I look at this I cannot reconcile the distances as causing the accident due to the vortex. Any airplane engineers around that can help explain this discrepancy?

[Map Kernow]

Remember, being conservative doesn't mean you have to mouth stupid ant-government slogans.

Yes, sir. But it also means you examine critically what your government does and says. And I don't care how much you harangue, the Flt. 587 investigation isn't passing the "smell test" yet for me...and LOTS of others, including aviation and terrorism experts, not simply the fellow FReepers you seem to disdain so much now.

[Jefferson Adams]

Or is an honest and open government more important than any of that?

In a free Constitutional Republic, the answer would be "yes." In this country, the answer is clearly "no."

[KeepTheEdge]

Questions, always these nagging questions.

[Map Kernow]

That's what I'm on about.

In a "TGIF" mood? ;-)

[freeperfromnj]

The only question is, will we be dumb enough to fall for it.

The sleeping public will fall for just about anything. That’s the problem. That’s why we need to discuss all of the possibilities. Why are you so opposed to hearing arguments on both sides? You seem insist on a daily basis that because we want honest answers we are seeking some grand conspiracy. There seems to be logical and valid reasoning that this was an accident offered on this forum by credible, knowledgeable pilots. I have also seen experts argue opposing views that seem to be equally credible. I find the constant criticism of the eyewitnesses to be totally out of line as well. Why is everyone dismissing their accounts? The credibility of these eyewitness should not be compared with that of the flt. 800 eyewitnesses - totally different circumstances and proximity to the crash. The people who have lived in that neighborhood for years, in the shadows of daily flight activity, are probably quite aware of what they saw and heard.

[michigander]

Shhhhhhhhh!

[sakic]

What I'm saying is that right after the plane went down there were literally dozens of different eyewitness stories about what happened. I listened to many of them on the radio.

[Native American Female Vet]

You are FOS and need to wake up

[anniegetyourgun]

So your sense is that the President is the kind of guy who would lie to the American public because he thinks they can't handle the truth? Why do you suppose he went to the FL school podium on 9/11 and said we are at war? Did he forget to take the DOW, my pension and general confidence into consideration before he said that? Had he not enough time to develop and coverup? Does he have a track record of lying to the American people?

Once again, please don't try to separate the NTSB from the president, because to cover up a terrorist act would require everyone to be in on the story - including the guy at the top who is running the war.
