The Flight 800 Investigation

August 15, 2000.  The Washington Times carried a full page ad from the TWA 800 Eyewitness Alliance demanding that they be heard.  The ad claims that the FBI and NTSB have lied to the American public and that hundreds of people witnessed a missile shoot down Flight 800. It concludes: "We, the eyewitnesses know that missiles were involved.  We don't know who launched them, but we know that for some reason our government has lied and tried to discredit all of us to keep that question from being addressed." ... "The claim that our evidence is worthless is false and we want to know who is behind it.  Hundreds of us SAW what happened.  The FBI, the CIA and the NTSB must not be allowed to get away with this cover-up by defamation of the eyewitnesses.  We appeal to those who know why this is being done to share their information with us. Confidentiality is guaranteed.
