I heard an interview yesterday with a former Intelligence official who had also retired from the USAF. His opinion was that, with all the neighboring countries, their satellites and their own nations defense systems, there is no way the flight path of this plane is not known. What he found to be the "scariest" part is that NO ONE is willing to tell the public anything about it. He said the tight lipped security itself tells you more than what IS being said. His theory was that this plane did not crash but was diverted. The "how" is more of a mystery to intelligence community at this point.
He was asked by the host "but why has no terrorist group claimed responsibility?" His answer was very thought provoking to me - he said that the normal (or normal as we know it) response from these groups in the past has been to puff up and claim their group was the one able to pull this off. He said the quiet is deafening. No group is claiming anything...not to know anything about it, not to have been involved in it or know anything about it! That made a lot of sense to me. When in the past have we ever had an incident that some group did not claim to be involved in, even if it turned out to be BS in the end....someone ALWAYS claims to have done this or that and the fact that no one is claiming any involvement, scares the %%%% out of this guy. He said, in the end, we might not ever know what became of the passengers, but we will know what becomes of that plane because it will not be good.
