If that's true, why hadn't some group "claimed responsibility" for it? Usually 2 or 3 groups come forward.

Also, please note this quote as to the sheer number of witnesses:
"We have access to 107 witnesses on 4 aircraft, 19 boats, and 31 locations ashore. They were located in a 360° circle around the missile engagement. Their live testimony alone will prove the aircraft was shot down. This is why the Justice Department has kept air crash investigators away from witnesses for 2 1/2 years and also one reason they are conducting a malicious show-trial prosecution of author and outside investigator James Sanders and his wife."
Because Cmdr. Donaldson was brought into the Sanders case as a defense consultant, he was first able to see detailed photographs, taken by Mr. Sanders of the Center Tank left side of body wall fracture pieces, in late March. These pictures were taken by Mr. Sanders at the request of Cmdr Donaldson during the discovery trial phase as allowed by a Federal judge. The pictures strongly suggest the left side of body wall of the center tank was blown into the tank at extremely high energy, not outward as the NTSB theory implies. When Cmdr. Donaldson called the NTSB and left voice-mail requesting to see the NTSB "Fracture Edge Analysis" of CWT left side of body wall parts, an NTSB attorney called back in minutes in a somewhat anxious state. The lawyer suggested such testing need not be done. Incredulous, Cmdr Donaldson informed him that any NTSB Final Report blaming a center wing tank failure without determining which way that wall exploded would be a farce."The photos, which were once on the net from the reassembled liner, which I saw, plus one set of radar images from tapes (I also saw), are now sealed by court order.

Regardless what anyone says, Fight 800 was shot down by a missile and the government covered / is covering it up. Which group or persons are responsible? I don't know. You can simply connect the dots. To this day a shoulder fired S2A is a threat to all aircraft upon approach or takeoff. With physically unsecured borders, it's just a matter of time before another "center fuel tank decides to blow itself up."
