”I'm very sensitive when I see the word 'whistleblower' and twa800 used together. I feel this case can ONLY be solved by insiders, whistleblowers, and it is solely our role to assist and protect them. I think we all failed in this miserably. We've done nothing but support the feds in attacking them. I consider this complete stupidity and counterproductive. Until whistleblowers are protected and assisted, rather than being destroyed, fed corruption will increase until we are all consumed”.

That was the same day he posted the following in FreeRepublic:

”Tight lips on navy corruption/wrongdoing/coverup sink more ships though. Elmer's Tobin is the first fed whistleblower in history to blow the whistle in SUPPORT of government corruption and wrongdoing and coverup. Lol” 473 posted on 1/18/02 6:38 PM Pacific by thatstan

”Jack, I am excluded from posting now from the forum I owned but gave to Jack Seaman, the head of the victim's families organization. I trust Jack S. the same as I trust you. And Dr. Swoebel on the USS Iowa coverup. The sound study is a legitimate scientific concern, but not questioning the obvious coverup indicates you are a scientific whore the same as Dr. George Biz is. And Grassley. And others. Until you have questioned the coverup, you are as guilty of the same crime as George is. And Elmer, Grassley, Tobin and others. You have committed the same crime and should be removed from society for it. Or snuffed. Both of you know you deserve life imprisonment for this terrible crime against humanity. You deserve it. Stan”

The complete transcript of the whistleblower testimony of former FBI Chief metallurgist William Tobin during the Grassley Hearing along with a link to the entire transcript of that hearing is included in my Reply #475 above. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/fr/579114/posts?page=475#475

And of course, no one should *ever* explore the record of the early Boeing 747-100 series of aircraft, the overall record of outward opening cargo bay doors, the chronic problems associated with wiring chafing, or the age and number of takeoff/landing cycles or total hours on the Boeing 747-100 that *was* TWA800.

Also *big* on the ignore list is the fate of UAL811 - a younger 747 than TWA800 which *did* have a forward cargo bay door blow out and nearly bring that craft down ...

.. initially UAL811 was *thought* to have been a victim of a bomb - UNTIL the forward cargo bay door was recovered from the drink at the failure problem was quite OBVIOUS then ...

And of course - you'll NEVER hear this aspect from the conspiracy theorists who look everywhere but at the Boeing 747-100 airframe that was TWA flight 800 ...
