On April 4, 1996, the subject of my radio show in Kansas City was Commerce Secretary, Ron Brown. He and 34 others had died the day before when their Air Force plane crashed into a Croatian mountainside.
Not one to shy from exploitation of a tragedy, President Clinton was busily profaning the memory of Martin Luther King – who had been killed on April 4, 1968 – by comparing King's mission to Brown's.
What Clinton did not say was that Brown had gone to Croatia to broker a sweetheart deal between the neo-fascist strongman who ran Croatia, Franjo Tudjman, and Enron Corporation. This was all part of the Clintons' desperate drive to raise money for their 1996 re-election campaign.
More than a few callers argued that the Clintons had the plane destroyed. I dismissed these arguments out of hand. I believed then, and believe now, that an American president would never do such a thing.
When I began my investigation for my book, "Ron Brown's Body," I thought, however, that I might very well find another link in the Mega Fix chain – that is, the cover-up of a terrorist incident for the sake of political advantage.
Brown's flight did leave Bosnia, a Muslim country swarming with mujahideen. This flight came just six months after the Dayton accords and the insertion of American troops – an unpopular move. I figured that if a terrorist missile shot Brown's plane out of the sky, or a hijacker flew it into the mountain, the Clinton White House would have good cause to conceal this fact.
But I was wrong. The evidence does not support a terrorist scenario. Here is what we know for sure about Ron Brown's last days.

Or get Teddy to give her a ride home.
Google in......Enron power project in India. There is a ton of information on the entire fiasco.
Same airplane.
They apparently are backing her now. But the longer they back her and it turns out Cheney of all people was right and she knew and approved, then what credibility do they have as the supposed new values party (that would never “torture”)?
She blows their case out of the water and makes them now look like the hypocrites that they are. And hopefully costs them some seats in 2010.
I always get a little chocked up reading about Ron Brown’s plane. A girl I went to High school with died on that flight too.
What do think happened to that flight, Chris?
I have no idea other than what I’ve read. I know my gut tells me it wasn’t just a crash.
That is Jack's biggest fault: he's a bit gullible and naive about the base nature of man.
Didn’t Ron tell his girlfriend that if went ‘down in a plan’ it would not be an accident? OR. ..was it just; if he had an accident; it wouldn’t be. . .WHATever. . .when I think of Ron Brown; the scenario that unfolded; and what it unfolded from. . .my ‘tin foil’ really starts cracking.
ahh. . .make that ‘plan’ a plane. . .but the ‘tin foil’ stands.
In today's democrat party, I think you're right.
Hey I can still remember the original thread on this article ...
Clinton forced Enron to build a power plant in India that they never got paid for. That was what brought Enron down, and it was deliberate. Bill is ruthless.

And the perfectly round hole in Browns scull from the autopsy photo’s didn’t exactly dispel the rumors that he was dead before the plane hit the ground.
Looks like the DNC continues the "Right Wing" drum beat using the politicians in Homeland Security and Pelosi as well to brand Veterans etc. as potential terrorists. Same tactics as under Clinton.
Some of my friends at the time stated Ron Brown was two weeks from a Federal Indictment. So I think the WH was involved beyond this glossed over version.
