Ok.... just heard on The Today Show news, the NYC flyover of fake AF1's photos

will not be released. They have become classified. I'm looking for a news link and can't find one yet.

So a public terrorizing photo-op, costing over $300,000 is classifying the photos.

Why?

1. Good.

This "photo-op" became a neocon propaganda stunt
(whether deliberately or unwittingly we may never know).

2. If this it true then I can see a couple of possibilities.

Maybe they were testing some kind of system for tracking low flying aircraft in a high rise environment or something.

Maybe they're doing it simply to prevent the media from showing the pictures and keeping the incident in the public mind. I hate to think that's the case but it does seem like a likely explanation.

5. Of course, the media not having access to those pics can be one of the reasons but do you think

if anyone wanted sue for PTSD they would be blocked by a classified program?

8. Maybe, just maybe, it wasn't a photo shoot of a Presidential plane.

:think:

That story never passed the smell test, anyway. We will probably never know what the purpose was. I still think it was a drill of some sorts, just don't know what.

9. Luis Caldera, the guy who ordered the photo op,

was head of the School of the Americas. While president at UNM, he ordered dossiers on people who were to meet with him, ordinary people, like you and me. He always insisted on walking behind people who were walking with him! He was fired from UNM. The guy is a secrecy freak along the lines of Cheney.

12. So WTF is this person the director of Obama's Military Office? And thanks

for the info on him. School of the Americas is a dark dirty little secret for most Americans.
