ARAP E-Mail: I was watching Hannity and Colmes on Fox tonight (12/27). One of their guests was Dick Morris, aid to President Clinton. He was talking about the events of terrorism leading up to 911. He mentioned the "Bombing of TWA 800". I was surprised that neither of the reporters asked him about this. I would of thought that they would of stopped him and asked why he said bombing.  Editor's Note:  ARAP contacted Dick Morris and here is his response:  "I will be referring to the TWA crash in ongoing commentary over the next few weeks and will be sure to mention how the cause of the crash has not been established."

Senator Kerry On Larry King Live:  Tonight (9-11-01), Senator Kerry, who was on the Intelligence Committee until last year, includes Flight 800 along with the embassy bombings in discussing our reaction to terrorism! Transcript.

Senator John Kerry on MSNBC Hardball w/ Chris Matthews (9/24/01 7:15pm E.S.T.)  " You know, we've had terrorism for a long time now. We've had the Achille Lauro, the Munich Olympics, the pipe bomb at the Olympics in Atlanta, the TWA 800, the bombing of embassies, and it's not going to disappear overnight."  Transcript


Kallstrom on CBS with Dan Rather, 9-11-01:  "We need to stop the hypocrisy, not that hypocrisy got us to this day. I'm not saying it did. But this is serious business, and--and those of us in law enforcement over the years and intelligence work over the years didn't know what day this would happen, hoped it would never happen, but thought surely some day, it might happen."

Bin Ladenbin Laden:  The man who declared war on America - Bodansky, 1999 
Excerpt from page 325 :
The Islamist terrorists did not arrive lightly at considerations of using weapons of mass destruction. International terrorism is in the midst of a quest for the super spectacular terrorist strike.  The case of TWA 800 served as a turning point because of Washington's determination and to a great  extent ability to suppress terrorist explanations and float "mechanical failure" theories.  To avoid such suppression after future strikes, terrorism sponsoring states must raise the ante so that the West cannot ignore them.  

 

Editors Note:  This book was published in 1999 and has been listed on this website since that time.  His description of "raising the ante" has a chilling ring after the World Trade Center attack.  Does anybody really think that Flight 800 was not a terrorist act?

NSNBC interview by Brian Williams with Mr. Isaac Yeffet, the former Director of Security for El-Al Airlines, 9/28/2001 at approximately 8:30 pm, ET.

       Brian Williams:  "Do you think the US is still under the threat of terrorist hijackings, of aircraft being used as flying bombs?  With your knowledge of the terrrorism business, do you think they won't just move on to another mode of delivering terror?" 

      Isaac Yeffet (English is not his first language):  "We thought in the past, in the '70's, that what happened with the US aircarriers, this would be the end of the terrorist attack.  Look what happened since Lockerbie, PanAm103?  What happened to TWA 800?  Look now what happened?  Who can guarantee us that the terrorists will decide no more attacks in the US, unless somebody will tell me that we took control over the terrorist organizations and we let them know that here, they cannot come."

September 11, 2001:  Mr. George Stephanopoulos, former assistant to President Clinton, on ABC TV with Peter Jennings in mid afternoon talked about the two situation rooms in the White House. 

Stephanopoulos: "There are facilities in the White House, not the normal situation room, which everyone has seen in the past, has seen pictures of. There is a second situation room, behind the primary situation room, which has video conferencing capabilities. The director of the Pentagon, the defense chief, can speak from a national military command center at the Pentagon. The Secretary of State can speak from the State Department, the President from wherever he is, and they'll have this capability for video conferencing throughout this crisis." 
"In my time at the White House it was used in the aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombing, in the aftermath of the TWA Flight 800 bombing, and that would be the way they would stay in contact through the afternoon. "    *(quote verified 9-17-01 )
Jennings: "Just a couple of short questions." (Asks if the president has any say about following Secret Service orders.)
(Editor's Note: The reference to "bombing" could have been a slip of the tongue, I am sure he meant to say shootdown.) 


James Kalstrom was quoted on network television yesterday as saying: "this is the first time since TWA 800," inferring that TWA was an act of terrorism.  *(revised quote)  (Editor's Note:  Mr. Kalstrom denied making any such statements today (9-17-01) when I asked him to comment on these reports.)  If anyone has video tape of Mr. Kalstrom's comments, please contact ARAP so we can get a verified transcript.

CNN Cancels Cashill Again -  Reed Irvine has just been told by Bruce Perlmutter, Van Susteren's executive producer, that they have canceled the TWA segment for tonight. They just changed their minds between last Friday and now. He said they had other people who wanted to go on the show with Jack Cashill, but they decided not to do TWA 800 without giving it further study. However, I am told that they were having trouble getting anyone to go on with Jack, and they didn't want to do it with him as the only guest. It was all right to have Hall as the only guest on the 17th, but for Cashill they have to have "balance."

Kuchma's Dictum - Paperback - 2001 - by Jacques Evans
Book Description:  A Russian paratrooper attempts to terrorize the United States into withdrawing its troops from Europe so Russia can have a free hand in bringing the breakaway republics back into the fold. 
twa800.com note:  Although this story is fiction, much of the details around the shootdown are closely based on the facts surrounding the crash of TWA Flight 800.  The author has obviously studied the Flight 800 crash closely and weaves a plausible story sprinkled with real life facts.

Warning Areas: Definition from the FAA & Statement by Cmdr. Donaldson - Much has been made about the existence or nonexistence of Navy ships in the vicinity of TWA Flight 800 at the time of the crash.  The proximity of the crash to FAA Warning Area W-105 has led some to believe that the crash was the result of a Navy exercise gone bad.  The Navy has denied that any of its ships were in the area.  Others point to the radar data and claim it is evidence of a "fleet" entering W-105.  W-105 and W106 are only FAA Warning Areas only.  These areas do not show up on nautical charts and a check with the US Coast Guard confirms that there are no military warning areas anywhere off the south coast of Long Island.  Further reviews of "Notices to Mariners" confirm that there were no maritime exercises scheduled in the vicinity of W-105 & W-106 in the month of July, 1996.  These same Notice to Mariners show scheduled firing exerecises off the coast of MASS, but nowhere near Long Island.  It is clear from this review that W-105 and W-106 are Aviation Warning Areas only, so any implication that radar showing ships entering the area proves they were Navy ships, is clearly inappropriate. Cmdr. Donaldson believes that the radar data more likely shows commercial and sport fishermen out on a fine summer evening and nothing more.  You decide.  - 1-22-01 new
