My personal conclusion is that TWA Flight 800 was shot down but that the most recent crash was an accident.

Your post is one more straw in the wind, and I suppose some enterprising news person could follow up on it to see where the President of TWA was at the time and whether he visited the White House as claimed. But without names and corroborating facts, it doesn't mean very much.

Clinton covered up and lied reflexively, and the media were happy to back him to the hilt. I won't say that Bush wouldn't cover up if he thought there was good reason to do so, but so far I think the evidence is the other way.

Bush most certainly knows the facts here, so he is complicent if flight 800 was shot down.

My guess is that Bush knows all about what really happened under the Clintons, and is well aware of the very thorough housecleaning -- and possibly head-rolling bloodbath -- that we need in both the CIA and FBI. But he also realizes that to undertake it right this minute and let the full truth about what happened come out now would totally discredit our entire government and demoralize much of our population. It would also leave these agencies decimated right at the time when we are most in need of manpower. Thus, I suspect that Bush has decided to defer the investigations and housecleaning until we get the immediate business out of the way. He has also probably decided to: a) keep everyone in those agencies on a extremely tight leash and watched like a hawk; and b) give those few good guys who somehow managed to hang on through the Clintons to prove themselves now, and thus win a reprieve.

When we do wrap up the immediate and critical phase of ops overseas and the investigations start, it isn't going to be pretty, folks. I expect to see hundreds of people forced to resign, and several dozens ultimately prosecuted, possibly even for treason.
