#2 I tend to agree with VDH, but his use of TWA Flight 800 is worrying.

economics that made sense for a 747 to take off with an empty belly tank -- still seems to be the root cause.

#3 Based on the sentence around it, I assumed he meant TWA 847 hijacked to Beirut and where Robert Dean Stethem was tortured and murdered.

#4 I think there's a lot of evidence to suggest that TWA 800 was brought down by a SAM missile (by Islamist terrorists) and not by some freak spark in the plane's gas tank as the FCC tried to maintain.
It was another "heads up" that IslamoFacists had declared war on the US that we ignored by treating it as a domestic incident.
If VDH attributes it to the WOT, he knows whereof he speaks.
