I don't want to start up all the what did/didn't happen to TWA800
stuff again, but if you're talking about eyewitnesses and being believed
and proof, the situation is a lot of eyewitnesses said "We saw a
missile",
and the authorities said "There's no evidence". That's all I'm saying,
not
whether either were right or wrong. It's not just in Russia that this
happens.

This is valid and fair; but I don't recall the FAA/NTSB coming out and
saying there was no evidence of an explosion when people everywhere were
saying they saw an explosion. The issue is not whether they said for
sure,
or that there was proof, but whether there was evidence.

The point is about evidence.

Latest news is that evidence of explosives has been found:

Yep. Confirming what those incredible eyewitnesses said; the planes
exploded. Again I say I thank God we're not Russia and if my point isn't
clear, let me add that I thank God even more than I wasn't, say, a Russian
sailor lying at the bottom of the ocean in the Kursk when the Russian
government was too secretive and proud to allow for immediate help.


You mean like the FBI, CIA, NSA, AAA, all did squat about the terrorist
threat before 911 mainly because they did not want to talk to each other.

Russia and the US have more in common than you think, governments quite at
home lying to their people.
