This is the same CIA that rejected Czech intel's information on Atta's meeting in Prague, and the same CIA that is throwing mud on British intel's report on Niger. Where is McCarthy when you need him?
I did, and it is a very good read. Convincing, and completely believable. It only makes sense that the government would not want the public to know the truth if TWA 800 was shot down by terrorists or accidently by the military. If terrorism, no one would want to fly and our society would be crippled. If it was the military by accident, how could they admit it?
