I run a page and get a lot of stuff in my inbox. Most of it falls in my lap whether I want it or not.
Not sure if that was the motive or not. Some suggest that it was an accidental shoot-down but I'm not sure if that is even possible or plausible.
Uhhm... You might want to ask the former crew of the USS Vincennes if accidental shoot downs occur or not...
I, for one, think that's the most plausible explanation - and that it was covered up for political reasons...
I understand why some think it was a stinger from a terrorist. I would have thought that we'd have heard people bragging about that.
