I spent  20 years in the Navy as an Officer and I'm telling you there is no
way  something like this
would or could be covered up.  Officers swore an  Oath and we take that
oath very seriously.
Covering up the slaughter of  American Citizens for whatever reason would
violate that oath.  There
isn't enough pressure in the world a government agency could bring (short
of killing) that would
suppress such a mistake.  Within Min of  something like that happening the
ENTIRE ship would know.
These conspiracy  theory's are fun to talk about but when you guys start
questioning the honor  of my
brothers and there ability to do the right thing it is  disturbing.  We
serve the people NOT the
government.

Thank you for your service Mike. Suppose the crew were advised that they
were to be, or could be charged with manslaughter or accessory to
manslaughter.  Many people did speak up. Those familiar with the 747, with
aerodynamics, with  missiles, with the Ryan Fire Bee drone.
A piece of one was found in the wreckage. Ryan faxed a parts break down to
a real estate agent on Log Island by boxing the last 2 of the phone number
meant  for the FBI field office. Oops............

Hundreds spoke up. There is no suggestion that you could cap something this
big for hours let alone years. If the media including the New York Times
is on  your side, you can get away with anything.

How could an illegal alien from Kenya be......well, you know the  rest..
