Ukrainians Shift Stance on the Cause of Air Crash nytimes.com From the Sunday NYT, it's hard to keep up. Pentagon intelligence experts, relying on a global network of spy satellites that track missile launchings, have said privately that the jet almost certainly was downed by an SA-5 antiaircraft missile fired during a Ukrainian military exercise on the Crimean coast. One American military official said satellite data unmistakably showed that a missile had veered off course and flown to the limit of its range before unleashing a fusillade of shrapnel-like steel balls at the jet. Maybe there's a better interpretation available from debka, though. There's got to be a way to make this another reason to declare war on the Arab and/or Muslim world.
