"they're pushing theories in our faces that sound as kooky and far-fetched as any of the anti-government conspiracy theories I've been reading about it."

Really, what kooky and far-fetched anti-government conspiracy theories have you been reading about the crash? On FreeRepublic? Many people feel because of the timing and locale and airline it may have been another act of terrorism, is that a kooky and far-fetched conspiracy theory?

Well, having reviewed a LOT of posts on Flt. 587, I've concluded that some folks have been a little quick on the draw as far as charging conspiracy and cover-up go, and it invites the airline and government codependents to chime in with their tired old "don't confuse the conspiracy nuts with facts" cliches.

But you need to get the thrust of my comment: on the whole, the prize for the wildest imaginations and the most unsubstantiated theories go to the people who keep insisting that this or that mechanical failure theory is possible. Hell, anything within the laws of physics is possible, but 60 days after our country suffered its worst terrorist attack ever, and a week or so after the government announced the likelihood of an imminent further attack, why treat the possible causes of this crash as though this were still peacetime? Why attack concerns about possible terrorist causes of this crash as "conspiracy theories"? I could still be convinced that there was no sabotage and no terrorist involvement, but what seems like the outright propagandizing of a "mechanical failure" scenario makes me very, very suspicious, and I'll keep on being that way, and counsel others to be that way, until I see some more objectivity in this investigation.
