1. Wow!

K&R. Thanks for posting. I read a lot of Baer's stuff and always wondered how he got away with writing it.

3. best Charlie Rose I have ever seen

Stephen Gaghan flat out says he will NEVER fly in a small plane, ever. He says it is too easy to make it go down like it was an accident. No tinfoil required for Mike Connell's crash.

5. Most definitely.

If people want to jump to where Gaghan starts talking about plane accidents go to 32:30.

I think the Mike Connell accident is not an accident at all and is GOP foul play. This is another GOP dirty tricks they have been refining into an art form for decades. Remember Watergate and the Dorthy Hunt plane accident when she was going to spill the beans. Well the GOP was not going to allow Mike Connell to continue to spill the beans on them regarding the Ohio elections in 00/04, or regarding the missing White House emails. Connell knew about too many important secrets. Connell had to go. There is no doubt in my mind whatsoever. None.

4. Why wack somebody with a plane ? � Because is works SO well.

Kills so thoroughly. Destroys so much evidence. Changes the script so definitively.

IF an independent investigation (I know, I know, what are the chances of THAT?) finds remains, objectively matched to Connell, than I must assume they found the backups (or think they did).

There may be no remains or no conclusive match (a whole plane supposedly vaporized at the pentagon on 9/11, with virtually nothing to scrape up). Convenient.

Then again, they may NOT have the backups, and might HAVE Connell AND, the best part, have him out of the script at the same time. Convenient.

� Spycraft, muthafukha. Hardball. You can't HANDLE the truth !

When it seems TOO convenient, ask "Who benefits?"

6. They do it because they know how to do it well.

It is something they have been doing since at least the 1970s, and have gotten away with.

9. Thank you for that

I re-watched Syriana recently. Not a pleasant film but important for its portrayal of those that manipulate the world from behind the scenes.

As for Mr. Connell, may his death be the string that gets pulled, thus unraveling the whole disgusting sweater.
