Flight 800 lawsuit

On Dec. 15, a Los Angeles Federal Court judge will hear arguments about how much evidence U.S. officials must reveal to support their claims that a decapitated Boeing 747 could soar thousands of feet after 80,000 pounds of nose and cockpit were blown off. The suit seeking the information comes six years after the FBI presented the CIA-produced animated hypothesis of Flight 800’s last seconds and the National Transportation Safety Board subsequently presented its own versions. article


That is an interesting prospect. If my reading of that is correct, the issue is how much evidence the government has to present, if any, to support public claims they make in concluding investigations. And if that is the correct reading, the court's ruling could have far-reaching implications. Don't get too hopeful, though.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
