I certainly leave room for the general's being wrong here, but that does not qualify to peg a "rash conjecture meter." Neither would that necessarily mean he's done something nefarious in the process.

One doesn't achieve McInerney's position (in the decades he did, at least) by being a crack-pot or being one given to rash conjecture. I believe he built up his list of good sources through an enviable process. I will continue believing that until proven otherwise, but not in the absence of being proven otherwise.

McInerney may be wrong, and if so, it will hurt his credibility. He may have been lied-to. If so, I will have to doubt he was easily duped.

I see in Miteybad and bigdaddy45's comments this unusual, repeated, unFreeperlike demand for disclosure of sources. Why would that be? Why do you wish to strip a high ranking military man of his sources?

It's Miteybad's conjecture that the general is wrong and cannot prove his earlier statements. I don't believe McInerney nor his sources necessarily owe us proof at this time. Certain things may need to be worked out before more information is disclosed. Hypothetically, if the general is right, would you not wish the perpetrators of such a heinous crime be foiled in their ends, where untimely disclosure of what you seek clearly has a high risk of thwarting the success of a retributive operation?

Miteybad cannot yet prove his assertion that MH370's passengers are under 12,000 feet of water, though none demand it of him, probably because he has no credibility anyway.

For my part, I'll decide a bit further down the road whether McInerney's reputation should be trashed as Miteybad suggests, or whether he may come out of this episode "smelling" much better than Miteybad.

Any of you who have “netflix” might want to watch “TWA: Flight 800” - a very good documentary (91 minutes) about the facts ignored by the FBI and all the usual .gov sources.

Then, having watched it, consider the crazy nonsense being spouted by “officials” these past few weeks regarding mh 730.

I’m not saying his reputation should be tarnished just that it would fit the MO of this administration trying to tarnish it so when he releases information later they can point the finger.
Feeding or having an agent feed him false information knowing he was discussing it on FOX served what purpose if not that ?

Knowing the identity and affiliation of General McInerney's sources might help in judging the validity of the information emanating from said sources. Frankly, at this point, the General has more to gain by divulging the sources that have led him so badly astray than he does by preserving their anonymity. If he understands the gravity of the current situation, in which he looks only slightly less loony than Don Lemon of CNN did when he postulated his "black hole" theory, then Gen. McInerney probably agrees with Miteybad that his sources are no longer worthy of protection.
