The Airline Commission DID have strict regulations recommended for the airlines to secure cockpits, regs that would have cost the airlines a fortune. Gore tossed them for $500,000 in campaign donations from those same airline.

See my post #58...all morning I have been pursuing Gore's inaction while he was in office.

This is the main history which should be in the papers and on television but won't because of the liberal death-wish to take Bush down.

Just to channge the subject a little bit as this has nothing to do with Gore. I've always said that Billy Jeff was a great talker but unlike the president took never action. Well I am reading Richard Miniter's book LOOSING BIN lADEN, and on page 68 it says that when Billy Jeff was in San Francisco for a multy-million dollar fundraiser, he stayed at Fairmont Hotel and when he turned on the television he saw what ordinary Americans had been seeing for hours: CNN footage of dead Americans dragged through the streets of Mogadishu while a crowd of Somalis joyfully jumped up and down, shouting "God is great."

It says further that he took action. He He ordered that new images of defeat and disaster in Somalia be kept from the world's television networks. Eight video tapes of the battle made by a P-3 Orion reconnaissance plane circling overhead were quickly marked "classified" Billy Jeff did not want to see those tapes broadcast on CNN.

What action

< /sarcasm>
