I didn't say it would be a good, or even acceptable judgement call. It would have been a Clintonesque judgement call, and, unfortunately, within his authority.

Well, this should concern all the conspiracy minded even more than you think, because he didn't say SHOOT-DOWN or "MISSILE ATTACK" but BOMBING. So what if your missile theories are really off and that maybe the FBI lied, but it wasn't a missile after all? That would mess up more than a few theories around here.

My point is, if you are going to parse words, do it right.

The current administration does not need to critisize the Ex-"doesn't know how to smoke a good cigar" President. Looks like it all will eventually come out in the wash.

"That is an amazing statement. The same kind of national security that failed to detect critical weaknesses in airline security?

I'd amend that comment as follows:

"That is an amazing statement. The same kind of national security that failed to detect act on critical weaknesses in airline security?"

There. But I hesitate to sieze on this issue given that it's now moot and we face a long bloody war as a result. We now have only to act and let the historians sort out the recriminations.

Why at this time did both Mr. Stephanopoulos and Mr. Kallstrom bring up TWA 800?

Probably a slip of the tongue.

Jet fuel burns, it is not highly combustible like gasoline. It was the VAPOR they were referring to when they said that they could not get it to ignite in the lab.

Let us also recall the incident in which an Egypt Air airliner containing a contingent of Egyptian commandos returning from training exercises in the U.S. was seemingly ditched in the ocean by the pilot - but later "found" to be the result of faulty hydraulics in the tail. Talk of the pilot being on a suicide terrorist mission was dismissed by those pointing to his idyllic family life.

The last thing the WTC bombers did before 9/11 was send their "idyllic" families back to Saudi Arabia.<P.

Just as Rather has morphed into Blather, so should Peter be morphed into Petunia. The morphings fit both. "Petunia" is great. Thanks.

dashjim, you're being asked to weigh in. C'mon, be a sport.

Didn't have to pass by the hog pen on the way to the outhouse, did you?

Since George S and Kallstrom talked about TWA 800 on 9/11, the first guess is they spoke the truth off the top of their heads, without talking points. Note there hasn't been a fleet of talking heads echoing what they said.

A darker thought is they knew 9/11 was coming and saw an opportunity to protect the Navy's reputation. Again, since no one has echoed, they seem to be on their own.

Interesting that George S used "bombing".

Actually nothing in a luquid state can burn it's the complete opposite. A liquid state removes the one portion of the fire triangle needed for fire which is oxygen. The other two parts are heat and fuel. Vapors or rather a concentration of vapors make the fuel. A lot of persons who fix leaks in gas tanks actually fill the tank with either gasoline or water but never will you find anyone willing to wield an empty gas tank. But as for 800 I think a stinger brought it down. It was hushed for reasons we now see the damage control to the stock market.

In the current investigation, especially following the money, I wonder if both Clinton's won't be found to have taken much money from Arafat and who knows who else in the vicinity?

How come these BRANIACS never address something more plausible, like the condition of aircraft, or, failures of those aircraft due to commonly known (within the aviation safety circles) systems or subsystems?

It's like they have BOMB emblazened on their minds - they have a 'theory' desparately in search of evidence, evidence that is thin to non-existant in nature ...

Oh - that's right!

THOSE are kinds of stories that sell NEWSPAPERS and get WEB SITES PUBLICITY!

To persue, say, something more obscure and technically challenging would require *real* analytical skills -

- the kind of skills and ability beyond most who write books or 'dream up' whacky rivero-class conspiracies ...

"If TWA800 was a terrorist incident, the reason for the cover-up was probably to prevent the same kind of economic tremors that the more recent bombings have caused."

EXACTLY! Clinton couldn't let the economy fall on his watch...after all, he knew he had absolutely nothing to do with the economic boom this country experienced during his term. But, he was happily taking the credit for it. He had to keep the economy booming, because he sure as heck didn't know how it got started and wouldn't know how to fix it if it broke.

IT'S THE ECONOMY, STUPID!
