Of the three, choice "b" is most likely. Vince Foster, Ron Brown, who's next? With choice "a", eventhough Clinton loathed the military, he still found it useful to wipe his scandals off of the front pages. With choice "c", I doubt that our military may have screwed up (eventhough Kennedy's former press secretary, Pierre S*******, whatever his name is, thinks this). However, that too is possible as Clinton allowed our military to decay from the prominence we enjoyed during the late 80's/early 90's. Who knows?

Military screwups are one thing when you're in a battle zone and there are armed pilots flying around. As in the El Al flight that was shot down last year or in the two helicopters full of generals that were supposedly shot down over Iraq about 10 years ago by our own pilots (although I heard from a source that they were actually taken down by ground fire).

But in an era where they wouldn't even let our Naval guards on ships carry loaded weapons (remember the USS Cole...the guards' weapons weren't loaded so they couldn't shoot the speedboat), I doubt that a military screwup would shoot down the plane, as there wouldn't be a military there to screw up.

But don't discount "A". There are many things that the governments suppresses because they don't want to deal with them at the time. What fool thinks that the tail of that jet just fell off and crashed it into Rockaway? It was a bomb, clearly.
