Anderson Cooper:
“ TWA Flight 800 Was Shot Down”
July 22, 2014 | AmericanThinker.com | by Jack Cashill

Some truths CNN reveals only accidentally. One such truth Anderson Cooper (left) shared on the night of July 17. In speaking about the shoot down of Malaysian airliner MH 17 earlier that day, Cooper referred back to “July 17, 1996, when TWA Flight 800 was shot down off the coast of Long Island in New York.”

TWA Flight 800 was fresh on Cooper’s mind. Two days earlier, Cooper hosted a CNN special report on the subject, “Witnessed: The Crash of TWA Flight 800.”

July 17, 2014 | WND.com | by Jack Cashill

Eighteen years ago today, on July 17, 1996, TWA Flight 800, a Boeing 747, was blown out of the sky ten miles south of the Long Island coast killing all 230 people on board.

Al Francis was intimately involved in the aftermath of that incident. At the time he served as the council chairman and captain representative for the TWA pilots of International Council 024, of the Air Line Pilot’s Association.

How Barack Obama Created the Border Crisis
July 9, 2014 | WND.com | by Jack Cashill

On Tuesday President Barack Obama urged Congress to cough up $4 billion to deal with the flood of children from Central America—and others from parts unknown--crossing the border into Texas.

Obama called this mess “an urgent humanitarian situation,” but what he not do is take responsibility for almost single-handedly causing this mess two years prior.

Why Congress Must Re-Open the TWA 800 Investigation
July 7, 2014 | AmericanThinker.com | by Jack Cashill

On July 2, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) announced that it would not reopen the investigation into the destruction of TWA 800. This was the Boeing 747 that was blown out of the sky ten miles south of the Long Island coast on July 17, 1996, killing all 230 people on board.

The TWA 800 Project, a team of former aviation investigators and scientists, had petitioned the NTSB to examine evidence that pointed towards a likely missile strike on the airline. Not surprisingly, the NTSB, which had invested four years of resources to prove some other theory, any other theory, chose to stick to its original findings that flammable fuel/air vapors somehow caused the explosion.

Hillary’s “Classist” War on Women
June 25, 2014 | WND.com | by Jack Cashill

The emergence this past week of a recorded interview from the mid-1980s proves anew that Hillary Clinton has been waging her own personal war on women for decades and that the war is driven by nothing so much as a class-based contempt.

The interview involved a 1975 case in which a man named Thomas Taylor, now dead, was accused of raping a twelve-year old girl. As the head of an Arkansas Legal Aid clinic, Clinton (1975 photo at left) defended Taylor.

How the Left Will Repay the Catholic Church on Immigration

Boston Cardinal Sean O’Malley (left) made the news recently when he compared those of us who think our immigration laws ought to be honored with the anti-Catholic “Know Nothings” of the nineteenth century. In the process, he aligned himself with the forces on the left that are out to destroy the Catholic Church.

Why O.J.’s Saga lives and Trayvon’s died
June 11, 2014 | AmericanThinker .com | by Jack Cashill

Twenty years ago this week, former football great O. J. Simpson savagely attacked and killed his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman. The double murder and subsequent trial generated a small library of videos and books, the most recent of the latter being Kim Goldman’s, Can't Forgive: My 20-Year Battle with O.J. Simpson. I just finished Goldman’s insightful memoir yesterday. I must have read at least ten other books on the case.

Ron Brown's Son Learned Nothing

This past week Michael A. Brown (left), former D.C. council member and son of Clinton Commerce Secretary Ron Brown, was sentenced to three-plus years in a federal slammer.

Better known for his connections than his smarts, Brown had earlier pled guilty to taking a $55,000 cash bribe from undercover FBI agents. He had obviously not seen “American Hustle” or watched a single episode of “The Sopranos.”
