Why Panetta for CIA?

[null and void]

Because Mineta was already busy?

[Ben Mugged]

Paranoia will destroy ya.

[muawiyah]

Panetta probably knows where Arief Wiriandonata and Gilbert Colon are located. The CIA job is subcabinet status and his highy prestigious.

Wiriandonata and Colon remain uncaught and the Clintons and their crowd don't go to jail.

[al baby]

Well i for one believe it was a successful shoe bomber or a terrorist missile or a navy mishap or ball lightning or a meteorite but not a wire in the center fuel tank or a over heated ac unit

[Old Sarge]

Why not? Most of the people being brought in by The One (piss be upon him) are Clintonistas, anway.

[elpinta]

I recall the interviews and the detailed accounts of those that witnessed the ‘event’ and then, then... then... nothing was ever heard on the news, ever.
So, what can I say???

[winoneforthegipper]

When OBH nominated Panetta, I queried the same thing on a thread here.

Will we finally know, for sure Panetta at the time was on a different wavelength than BJC was.

[Freedom4US]

I was in the Army, so I can’t speak for the Navy, but it seems to me that wouldn’t/couldn’t and probably shouldn’t be “covered up”. C’mon.

"In April 1985 Panetta joined with 13 of his leftist congressional colleagues — including Ron Dellums, Don Edwards, George Miller, Christopher Dodd, and Les Aspin — in sponsoring a 20th anniversary fund-raising gala for the pro-Marxist Institute for Policy Studies (IPS), which had been described by Brian Crozier, director of the London Institute for the Study of Conflict, as the "perfect intellectual front for Soviet activities which would be resisted if they were to originate openly from the KGB." The IPS was originally funded with millions of dollars from the Faberge perfume magnate and Communist Party member Samuel Rubin and his wife."

From David Horowitz's FrontPageMag.com/DiscoverTheNetworks.org:

IPS’s [Institute For Policy Studies] Washington, DC headquarters quickly became a resource center for national reporters and a place for KGB agents from the nearby Soviet embassy to convene and strategize. Cora Weiss headed one of the IPS's most successful forays -- into Riverside Church in Manhattan. She was invited there in 1978 by the Reverend William Sloane Coffin to run the church's Disarmament Program, which sought to consolidate Soviet nuclear superiority in Europe -- in the name of "peace." In 1982 Weiss helped organize the largest pro-disarmament demonstration ever held. Staged in New York City, the rally was attended by a coalition of communist organizations. During her decade-long tenure at Riverside, which became home to the National Council of Churches, Weiss regularly received Russian KGB agents, Sandinista friends, and Cuban intelligence agents. Weiss became infamous for her role in the psychological warfare conducted against U.S. prisoners of war held in the infamous "Hanoi Hilton" during the Vietnam War.

The Liberation News Service, which is a news source for hundreds of "alternative" publications nationwide (with antiwar, Marxist-oriented perspectives), was founded in 1967 with IPS assistance."

Sandy Berger turned the job down and Panetta was the last man standing.

So this is where the bomb exploded?" I [Clarke] asked. "Where on the plane was it?"

"The explosion was just forward of the middle, below the floor of the passenger compartment, below row 23. But it wasn't a bomb," he [the technician] added. "See the pitting pattern and the tear. It was a slow, gaseous eruption, from inside."

"What's below row 23?" I asked, slowly sensing that this was not what I thought it was.

"The center line fuel tank. It was only half full, might have heated up on the runway and caused a gas cloud inside. Then if a spark, a short circuit ..." He indicated an explosion with his hands.

Wow, Clarke's book reads like a bad movie script...

"See the pitting pattern and the tear. It was a slow, gaseous eruption, from inside."

Snow job.

A fuel-air explosion from JP fuel does not cause pitting in metal. That requires a much higher VOD... Think about it: if a single fuel-air combustion eroded metal, the lifetime of a diesel piston would be next to nothing...

Adding an older link related to “the video”

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=57375

[DouglasKC]

I have heard from at least a hundred individuals who saw the same video as Young. None of them could provide this level of detail, and not just because they lacked Young’s experience. The video was pulled from American TV within hours of its being first aired.

I distinctly remember seeing this video too in the aftermath of the crash. It stood out because it was a clear image of a missile hitting the plane.

[Intolerant in NJ]

Panetta was among those reinforcing the less scary bomb theory. CNN quoted him as saying that “chemical residues had been found on some of the bodies and plane parts.”...at the very least Panetta should be asked what made him think a bomb was involved in TWA 800 and why he changed his mind - just for the record.....
