"If you knew the facts and they pointed to the government and you were in a position to actually do something about it, and knowing they had already downed a plane load of innocent people and covered it up so far, what would you do? Think about it." Exactly right. After watching the Clinton crime family in action, after reading about the supposed Clinton death list (which seems rather plausible, unfortunately), after Waco, after etc., I tend to think as you do. I'm sure that no matter how powerful or well connected or how damaging one's information, there is someone or something that they value, that can be threatened to the point where they keep quiet or lie under oath.
"Missile? what missile? Terrorist? I di'n't see no terrorist."
Clinton executed an amendment to the Death on the High Seas Act, which allowed the families of the victims to recover considerably more than they would have.
I posted quite a while ago about one group of victims who had settled the case. The article would not quote amounts but the inference was they were at least several hundred thousand and possibly two million.
