IMHO, there are some mighty big strikes against Mr. Mineta, who was a Clinton disciple as Sec. of Commerce.
First, Mineta, who is proudly of Japanese-American decent whose family was interned during WWII, is the main reason why airport TSA agents don't profile middle-eastern persons for extra inspection and instead fondle-up grandma and your 16-year old daughter. He is hypersensitive to racial profiling. Fulfilling Kerry's more sensitive war? He also is responsible for the little known rule that if TSA agents pull 2 middle eastern types out for extra inspection, they cannot pull out a 3rd or any others.
Second, Mineta is the ultimate blocking point for any truth to come out over Flight 800 back in 1996. On July 17,1996 TWA Flight 800 was blown from the skies with 230 people aboard and killed. The very likely explanation is that the US Navy was responding to radar tracking of a smaller plane, piloted by Islamic-terrorists and heavily laden with high explosives, intent on suicide-flying their plane into Flight 800 for an air-to-air collision. The Navy very likely fired a surface to air missile(s) to take out the terrorist, did so, but it was too close to Flight 800 and the resulting explosion took out Flight 800. The downing happened just before Clinton's 2nd-term election, and there are many Clinton-Dems who appeared to actively put a lid on the truth (Richard Clarke, Sandy (document stealing) Berger, Jamie Gorelick to name a few).
Go to worldnetdaily.com and do a search on Flight 800.
This past October, the History Channel premiered a new documentary on TWA Flight 800's demise.
I happen to see it and turned it off. It was nothing more than an hour of conspiracy nuts.
