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."

A new book worth purchasing: "Into The Buzzsaw: Leading Journalists Expose the Myth of a Free Press," by award-winning journalist Kristina Borjesson (editor) and Gore Vidal.  Excerpt of "Into The Buzzsaw" review in the Library Journal:  "Significant stories by investigative reporters do not always reach the air or find their way into print; some of them get caught in "the buzzsaw" that rips through both their reporting and their reputations. Borjesson, an Emmy Award-winning reporter, pulls together 18 essays written by journalists who have either personally experienced this buzzsaw or who have closely observed the media industry. Her own reporting on TWA Flight 800 for CBS made her a target of the FBI, who interfered with her investigative work. She was harassed, her computer and reporter's notebook were stolen, and in the end CBS fired her. The experience changed her perception of the media establishment. ..."  Judy Solberg, George Washington Univ. Lib., Washington, DC

CNN Story the day after Flight 800 Crashed - 7-18-1996  Editor's Note:  Notice the similarities between current events and Flight 800.  Witnesses said Flight 800 "Dropped like a Rock".  The CIA would later claim witnesses seeing streaks saw the plane climbing and burning.  Janet Reno admitted they had two claims of responsibility, claiming a "Jihad".  Later the press would be told there were no claims of responsibility.  Spin Control?

FBI Congressional Testimony on Laboratory Support for Flight 800 - 5-10-99newExerpt:  "..numerous eyewitnesses reported seeing flarelike objects and other events in the sky. Within a day, the law enforcement team had interviewed numerous eyewitnesses, including some who witnessed the events while in the air, and many of them provided credible accounts of these flarelike objects. Recognizing the limits of our own capabilities, the FBI contacted the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and requested assistance in evaluating these reports of events in the sky.

Two days after the crash, experienced analysts from DIA's Missile and Space Intelligence Center (MISIC) were on the scene in Long Island and accompanying FBI Agents on interviews and reinterviews of some of the eyewitnesses. The MISIC personnel who reported to Long Island are among the U.S. Government's foremost experts on shoulder launched surface to air missiles, known as MANPADS. They reported to us that many of the descriptions given by eyewitnesses were very consistent with the characteristics of the flight of such missiles."
