The NTSB has finally "issued" their TWA Flight 800
eyewitness report -- over 3.5 years after the crash.[1]
While Reuters reports that "The National Transportation
Safety Board Tuesday issued the report of its 'witness
group'," the report is in fact only being "issued" to
a select and reliable source: the major media. Notice
that the witness report, NTSB Public Exhibit 4A, is
still not to be found at the NTSB's Public Exhibit
webpage: http://ntsb.gov/events/twa800/exhibit.htm
and 4A probably won't be there when you read this.
This allows the report to be spun by the media as the
end of the missile theory before critics can offer any
rebuttals to the report. Then, by the time the report
leaks out and trickles down to the little people, the
big people will have declared the witnesses case closed,
whereupon comments of critics are no longer newsworthy.
