The voice and data recordings from the plane cockpit are still being kept secret.If the official line is the truth, the simple act of releasing them, with an independent analysis by an air accident investigator, should be enough to vindicate all those concerned.

As it stands,there is ample grounds for suspicion thatthe plane was brought down by a combination of terrorist action and federal intervention.If it was deemed necessary to destroy the plane to prevent greater loss of life,so be it.If it was deemed necessary to destroy the plane to prevent it from hitting a national icon, that is an act of vanity that will have to sit on someones conscience.

One thing is certain,the friends and families of those who died deserve the truth.The truth is that whatever action was taken [or not taken] they would have probably died anyway.
