However, with Flight 587, which occurred after 9-11, I'm having a hard time understanding why the government would want to cover it up...

If it came out that one of Mohammed's boys had anything to do with it, there would have been muzzies swinging from the streetlights -- that's why.

You are correct, Sir! I live in a town near Boston with a somewhat significant population of Dominicans. Right after this crash, I advised my buddy (local high school teacher and Marine Jr ROTC advisor there) to "watch" his Dominican students as they would be very angry and emotional on that first day back to school. (Some of them knew passengers on the filght...) The next night he told me that I was right...his young "Dominican Jr ROTC Marines" were asking for the school roster of students to identify any and all students of Arab heritage in the high school. I think he sent them home. The Dominicans I mean - to cool off. They're OK now (no Arab students in this school). This crash really impacted Dominicans up and down the BOS-NYC corridor that few can understand. Tragic. I think that they are unconvinced of the FAA's "the tail up and broke off" analysis. Come on. We're not stupid. I found it hard to believe. The FAA would have more credibility if they blamed it on UFO Gama Rays or something. And I'm not a tin foil guy either!
