What you heard was Kerry being interviewed on Hardball by Chris Mathews in Sept 2001

Sen. KERRY: Well, it's sad but it's understandable. I mean, there obviously is fear abroad in the land. We have to curb that fear. I think those of us in Washington really have a responsibility here, Chris, to balance our rhetoric and to balance the definitions of this war with the realities of what we face in the country. You know, we've had terrorism for a long time now. We've had the Achille Lauro, the Munich Olympics, the pipe bomb at the Olympics in Atlanta, the TWA 800, the bombing of embassies, and it's not going to disappear overnight.

Thanks for the post. I encounter the same type of people on the JFK threads. The conspiracy theorists never present facts other than their opinions but the people who believe the government's explanations have to report every single angle and timetable.

When the theorists can account for every who, what, where and why, I'll pay attention to them.

Makes you wonder what classified briefings Kerry attended. Ditto for Stephie.

"You see the engineers who design these magnificent mechanical marvels do not put wires in fuel tanks for obvious reasons. "

Boeing did. It was part of the fuel quantity indicator system.

By the time Stone got done with the script, Roger Ailes would be the one firing the missile.

Kerry made a similar statement about TWA800 earlier to Larry King Sept 11,2001.

Sen. Kerry:
We have always known this could happen. We've warned about it. We've talked about it. I regret to say, as -- I served on the Intelligence Committee up until last year. I can remember after the bombings of the embassies, after TWA 800, we went through this flurry of activity, talking about it, but not really doing hard work of responding.

We need to do that now and I'm confident that the size of this, the nature of this loss and the nature of this attack are going to motivate everybody to come together to do that. And I think that's imperative.

I remember exactly what transpired including the unusual death of the flight attendant on a helicopter as she was being flown for medical attention.

The path to the White House was littered with over 100 bodies and will not be forgotten if this witch gets closer to being elected!

If a tomahawk somehow had the ability to track a flying target and hit the plane there would have been NOTHING left of that plane. If he would have said an SM-2 or something similar he might of had some credibility.

And so as to not forget, there was a confirmed sighting of a couple of men fumbling with a shoulder mounted device in a field near an airport I think in Maryland before the downing of TWA flight 800

Check out this blurted admission by Kerry:

We have to curb that fear.

As we know, Kerry suffers from judgment disorder, but to blurt out that as a member of the Intelligence Committee, TWA flight 800 was an act of terrorism like all the others he mentioned is NEWS.

"TWA 800 did not climb at all after the explosion."
This is totally refuted by the data in the black box cockpit data recorder. And the govt. cover-up types had a lot of trouble trying to explain why the data recorder indicated this climb.

Now to all of you, what really happened to the plane that crashed after 9/11 in a suburb of New York and the apparent attempt to claim it was another equipment failure...heh?
who knows the truth about that one?

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."
quotation by Joeseph Goebbels (and practised by Bill Clinton and Sidney Blumenthal ad nauseum and now adobted by the rest of the Democratic Party machinery).

The composite vertical fin broke away due to excessive commanded rudder deflection by the co-pilot.

And before you spout cover up, other Airbus A300/310 aircraft have had their rudder tear loose in flight. The only difference in AA587 was the rudder took the vertical fin off with it.

Of course no amount of facts matter when you already have your mind made up. There could be a video of the whole event and it would be discounted as a government conspiracy.

For years after 800 went down, I have suspected that there was a cover up, or at best a mistaken analysis.

But over the years some things just don't add up.

If it were a military accident, the number of people involved would have been sizable, and keeping the secret this long, in this day and age where direct information would be very valuable to the media, just does not make sense to me.

If it were a terrorist missile, the cell and it's members were either completely eliminated, or they are remaining mute for no reason that I can understand.

A couple years ago, I was on the conspiracy side of this, but even with all the anecdotal evidence and purported misstatements, there are too many pieces missing to form any conclusion other than what they came up with.

I do not contend that terrorism was NOT responsible, only that it seems unlikely unless all participants, including the trigger-man or suicide bomber are dead.

Funny thing is that some Freepers here think suggesting it was a missle is tantamount to claiming no passenger jet hit the Pentagon on 911.

Geesh...it's not like we're denying we ever landed on the moon or something.

There are indeed wires in fuel tanks of all kinds.

There are wires in my 25gal gasoline tank on my GMC Yukon.

I recall the schematics of the tank for the 800 year model in question, and it had wire runs to the pumps and there were connectors, mush as my SUV's tank is wired. But the pumps are much bigger and in multiples on that aircraft, so it is a matter of scale, and of operating voltage.

Report later came back from inspections by the airlines indicating some wire damage in a few of the ones inspected from mechanic's stepping on them when they serviced the tank. This took years to develop.

I don't know where you got your info, but the tanks of that particular year of manufacture before the modifications were made, did in fact have wiring that was subject to damage in the tank. In my business, we would call that a code violation if non authorized personnel could access them. But it is not really a violation, because that was not the case.

I think sometimes that it is a matter of age. The older you get, the more you know and can envision, in terms of possible scenarios and the tendency for people to exaggerate and believe the worst.

All that tells me that there is little there, there.

Witnesses with specific detail from 25 miles away and no optical aids, make me very suspicious of their accuracy.

The mind tends to fill in the missing information, and I think that is what has happened here.

Sandy Burglar might have taken the answer out of The National Archives in a sock.

Heh heh. Maybe. Maybe not. But whatever he took out, it damn sure wasn't all that stuff we already knew about. It's absurd to think Burger would have risked everything to cover up mere administration embarrassments--especially since there were roughly 10 a day for 8 years, and this particular one was already public.

If everything Burger took was, in fact, related to the Millenium Bombing after-action report, then there was stuff in there we didn't know about. Stuff that absolutely could not come to light.

So why was it in the records to begin with? The clintons aren't above cooking the record books. My guess is that, at the time, the info at issue remained because it wouldn't be recognized for what it was. Just something-something with no dots to connect. But in the interim between clinton leaving office and the 9-11 commission, something changed. Something came to light that would make that material blink neon.
