With the first Israeli shuttlenot and a national hero to boot, the conspiracy theories are inevitable and we will hear about the for years. Now is the time for proactive skepticism.

For sure.

My guess is a) terrorism had nothing to do with it, this flight was under tight security, b) Al Qaeda will claim credit anyway. Think how much publicity they can get for the price of phone call.

Yep. I heard it immediately this morning. Was in a meeting when it was announced, and our resident jerk opened his mouth and said it was those "damn Israelis trying to start a war." About four hands hit the back of his head simultaneously. I don't even want to imagine the posts that are being made by all the people on SI I have on ignore...
