there are 144 eyewitnesses who SAW A MISSILE streak up and blow the plane out of the air.
False. There are some similar number of witnesses who saw something that could be described as something like a streak in the sky. Missile fan propaganda has turned this into seeing a missile. In fact, a sufrace-to-air missile doesn't look like a streak (I've seen them fired from the ground).
Many of the witnesses mentioned that they heard something, or saw a flash, and then looked toward the event in the sky.
Including two Coast Guard Captains who were in a nearby helicopter
You probably mean two Air Force officers from the Long Island rescue squadron (102nd? 106th? I forget). But your statement that there were Coast Guard officers in a helicopter is false. Your implication that they were certain they saw a missile is also false.
one Air Force Lt. Colonel I saw on Nightline that very night (before the info shut-down began
That guy was the commander of the rescue squadron, IIRC, and not one of the witnesses. In believing the immediate information from television infotainment is more accurate than months of professional enquiry, you have made a common error. It is an interesting thing about human learning, that the first item that is learned about a given subject is stronger than subsequent ones. This is one reason it's so hard to change one's mind.
this was the Clintoon Administration
Neither the military nor the NTSB (at investigative level) is political, and both have a strong value of telling the truth. I assume you have the same value and have just been too quick on the trigger tonight (check your facts). I think we can all agree that Clinton didn't share this value of ours.
This whole mess was caused by Kallstrom and the FBI trying hard to make it a crime of some kind, a bomb, a missile, in the face of a growing mountain of contrary evidence. The irony is that people who are ill-disposed to trust the FBI (and with good reason, for the Bureau *IS* political) are now the ones who have been hornswoggled into carrying its water.
