Do I believe that TWA 800 was brought down by a missile? Yes, I do. Can I prove it? No I can't. Do I believe that it was brought down by a missile fired by a US Navy vessel? No way! Think about this... Remember what happened the last time a US naval vessal accidentally shot down a civilian air liner? Weeks and weeks of publicity. I can't believe that the government could possibly shutdown a public enquery over something like this.

you're right.

the iranian civilian plane, for example.




if the u.s. navy shot 800 down, the nyt and wawa post would have been all over it.

in addition, many of the people on the plane were french nationals and they'd want compensation.

we paid iran big bucks.
