In Freedom’s Cause

When someone hears of a plane crash, they normally think of terrorists, at least as a possibility. What about the Buffalo plane crash that hit the house? It was only hours after the crash that news sites reported the following facts:

• We don’t know what caused it
• We lost contact with the pilot minutes before the crash
• We haven’t yet gotten the black box or voice recorder
• … and one more thing… terrorism is NOT suspected.

Wait a minute! Terrorism NOT suspected? Why the heck not? They admit that they know nothing about the crash, we’re in a heightened level of alert for terrorism, al qaida is out to kill us all, and a plane crashes and before they have any knowledge of what happened they say that it wasn’t terrorism!

Something stinks here. It’s saying one of two things. Either:

1. We do know what caused it and we aren’t telling you, or
2. We know about all terrorism in advance and this wasn’t planned.

This admission is admitting guilt to this event or guilt to all other events.
