Steve was heard muttering to Paul Nixon 
 about Terror 
 SG> it  so that the wormhole opened many times - later interpretted as a

 Ah.  Well, it's gotta be fiction: the people of earth would never fall
 for such as that .
 SG> Here's the biggest point: so far, we've had almost the least amount of
 SG> terrorism in the free world. Those places with more terrorism have 
 SG> imposed tough laws, but they have still had more terrorism than us.
 SG> Just  look at Ireland or the West Bank. Obviously the laws aren't

 Self-fulfilling prophecy.
 Heard on talk radio, Monday during the 1500 hour of the Bob Mohan show,
 Phoenix KFYI:
 Mohan was saying that he has a friend who knows the captain of the
 airliner that was just a couple of minutes behind Flt 800.  Said a/l
 captain states that he witnessed what he believes to be a trail of a
 missle that hit the TWA flight.
 Mohan went on to say that the flight path of TWA800 was within 1 mile
 of an MOA, the exact nature of the MOA I didn't catch, but has to do
 with coastal defense.  I.e. missiles.
 Now there have been several eyewitness reports from people on the
 ground who state that they say a "smoke trail" of some sort.  The only
 thing I've heard about the missile possibility is that FAA has looked
 at the tapes of the radar coverage of TWA800 and states that there
 isn't any indication of a missile.  Further, "experts" have stated that
 it's unlikely a "shoulder fired missile" would have had the range to
 bring down the jetliner.
 Now, here's the speculation on the part of Mohan: if this airliner was
 within a mile of some coastal defense zone (I don't have the
 appropriate sectional, but understand it to contain information that
 flight within the MOA is "hazardous") it would have been within range
 of medium- or perhaps long-range missiles.  Under control by our own
 military.
 What if something or somebody screwed up?  Is this possible?
 Conceivable?  And if it happened would we ever know?
 And isn't it convenient for the administration that these incidents
 have happened just after Clinton was partly defeated on his "terror
 bill," and he's now back wanting the same elements that were tossed out
 of the bill the last time around.
 OKC, TWA800, Atlanta...man, I dunno.
