#2 mhw, I think she was working for the FAA at the time and then, of course, found an incredibly lucrative new gig lobbying her former coworkers.The Democrats.com link does make a valid point that the FAA, in this episode certainly, acted more as a lobbying wing for the airlines than their regulator.

The commission does provide an interesting legacy for Gore as their original recommendations provided an excellent foundation for reforms.... after 3000 or so more people died, some of which were forced to jump to their deaths from an incredibly tall building. The Clinton Gore legacy looks bad, but how much worse will it look if the loss of TWA Flight 800 is revealed to be from a terrorist attack? Pass me a foil hat.

Note - If that does turn out to be the case, I won't be revelling. Instead I think I will head to church and pray for the souls lost when weak men betrayed our country.
