Well, you can add Senator John Kerry to the paranoid crowd, who doesn't believe the official report on TWA800. Here's his response to a question from Chris Matthews on Hardball September 24th, 2001:
MATTHEWS: What do you make of that case where they--where the passengers heading west to Salt Lake City said they wouldn't get on a plane with these guys? They turned out to be--I think they were Hindu--they weren't even Islamic people.
Sen. KERRY: Well, it's sad but it's understandable. I mean, there obviously is fear abroad in the land. We have to curb that fear. I think those of us in Washington really have a responsibility here, Chris, to balance our rhetoric and to balance the definitions of this war with the realities of what we face in the country. You know, we've had terrorism for a long time now. We've had the Achille Lauro, the Munich Olympics, the pipe bomb at the Olympics in Atlanta, the TWA 800, the bombing of embassies, and it's not going to disappear overnight. We've always been threatened by it. What's different here, obviously, is the nature of these individuals and what they were willing to do in order to hurt us here at home. We can, I think, most protect ourselves by carrying on with our way of life, with a higher state of vigilance about what's going on around us, but mostly by increasing the capacity of our country to gather intelligence and to fight this at its source, to fight this in other places before they get here and to do a much much better work of international policing and of anti-terrorist effort by fighting it abroad.
