Personally, I think the good General was talking out his rectal cavity.
Agreed. I don’t believe anybody with good classified info would be telling it to the General after he was blabbing all over Fox News and radio. Gum flapping day after day and he wouldn’t shut up. What a circus.
No, I think they would tell to get the info out through someone with his access to the media. The purpose would be to force the powers that be not to assume it’s just fallen into the ocean. An intact plane is a huge danger to the US.
