[Strategerist]

Man, I'm awfully tempted to send Cashill a bunch of wacky anonymous letters just for the amusement of seeing them turn up in a WingNutDaily article by him a few months later - I live near the NSA to boot, so I can even get them postmarked around here for extra authenticity :-)

Not that I am defending Cashill, but I didn't read his article as abandoning his own missile theory and adopting Peter Lance's theory so much as just reporting on the new theory. For instance:

...I have some real points of disagreement with Lance's arguments. Although Lance pushes the mainstream media to their limits, he has largely stayed within their pale. This I understand, especially on the subject of TWA Flight 800. To mention the word "missile" in that context is to risk losing a TV presence.

I think, generally, conspiracies are nearly impossible to maintain on a large-scale for any length of time. People just cannot keep their mouths shut.

But I do think there could have been a Middle Eastern connection to Oklahoma City, and I wouldn't rule out bureaucrats "overlooking" evidence on TWA 800 in order to cover their asses.

That being said, I have yet to actually be convinced that either of these two theories are anything more than interesting conjecture.
