I agree - both sides should play by the same rules. If a witness says one thing that is false, then their entire testimony should be disregarded.

I overlooked that part about the 20 helicopters being there at one time. I assumed that the 20 helicopters were reserved for use for the operation, but only 2 or 3 were actually used at one time. The witness' assertion that they were all present at one time does contaminate their entire testimony.

But the fireball testimony by the survivors has more than piqued my curiosity. I watched a C-SPAN conference the other day about the downing of TWA 800, and I am practically convinced that it was shot down by missiles. Even Admiral Moore, retired, former Chief of Staff I believe, says that there is no doubt that it was shot down, but not by the Navy. Over 120 witnesses report seeing fireballs rising from the surface.

Also, I was watching some old testimony on Waco yesterday, and the panel said that since the U.S. hadn't signed the international agreements not to use CS and other chemical weapons, etc., that they are legal for use in domestic situations.

First I heard about flame throwing tanks. One thing that perturbs me about them is that after the fire started, the tanks kept bashing the house.

One other point before I go back to watching Nascar, the best FBI evidence to support their case are tape recordings. IMO, these should be inadmissable as evidence. It is highly probable that if there is a cover-up, these tapes are contaminated.
