Actually, many fireworks are mortar shells, not rockets.

What's your point?

[Travis McGee]

Ya gotta wonder. Too "gentlemanly" to bring it up and disgrace a former president? Or perhaps too "explosive" and discrediting to federal investigations and "blue ribbon panels" in general?

In my novel, the good guys use the classic examples of the crooked non-investigations of Waco, OKC, Vince Foster and Flight 800 as reasons to pursue justice in their own way, and not rely on taking their knowledge to any part of the government for investigation.

Gorelick's ... 'nads in a vice a

I think if you put the female Jamie's nads in a vice that'll be one for the Jerry Springer show.

Sounds to me its like anything in government: if you're handed something that would cause embarassement you hold on to it as its your ticket to a cushy lifestyle. What skills does a former assistant Attorney General bring to Fannie Mae?

What skills does a former assistant Attorney General bring to Fannie Mae?

If you read the Fannie/Freddie threads here, the ability to perpetrate coverups is probably a key indicator for success at those entities.

Freepers just need to be hipper to the whole body-modification scene before dismissing the idea of putting Jamie Gorelick's 'nads in a vice.

For example, how will we ever win the culture war if we don't achieve tounge-splitting parity with the left?

It might be a matter of semantics. The eyewitnesses might have only said, "i saw something streaking across the sky towards the airliner right before it blew up). I wouldn't recognize a missile, either, but I sure can see an object streaking across the sky (assuming there would be some sort of streak of light or something).

If it was a missile, you would see a very bright point of light at the base of the missile, and a streak of light behind it, from glowing exhaust.

An antiaircraft missile flys higher and faster than any firework or flare. If people saw something like that fly up toward a commercial airliner at 15,000 feet, there isn't much else it could be.

thanks, eno_ ....i've never seen such a thing--thank goodness. i suppose it looks different than a shooting star? Although, even i, in my ignorance, would suspect foul play if i saw something bright whizzing towards an airliner which proceeds to blow up. Talk about a cover up of major proportions. makes me sick

A shooting star or meteor shower looks very different:

Meteors cross the sky, or seem to emanate from a point in the sky. The speed they cross the sky is faster than any aircraft I have seen - even fighters flying supersonic, and faster, I think, than an antiaircraft missile. Picture someone drawing a line across one half or one quarter of your field of vision really quickly. Meteors also cross the sky at a what appears to be constant speed, while missiles are accelerating as long as the rocket motor is firing.

Some meteors just leave streaks of light of various colors, but some look spectacular, leaving trails of colored sparks across the sky. And there are events I have read of that seem even more spectacular.

But a man-made rocket motor is pretty distinctive. Especially one made to catch up to an airplane.

Thanks for the explanation--much appreciated! MM
