FAA special agent blows whistle on FBI-TWA Flight 800
What this indicates is that the missile was flying (generally) toward the witnesses in the central zone. With an almost head-on view of the approaching missile, the missile did not have a significant degree of lateral or sideways movement as it approached the aircraft. In contrast, most of the witnesses on the periphery – who viewed the missile from the side – saw a significant curvature in the flight. Since the majority of the witnesses in the central zone did not see this curving, it would seem to indicate that the missile was moving in a vertical (up and down) pattern as it approached the aircraft with very little lateral or sideways movement.

Strange delay in FBI's Blaster Arrest

The Other Side of Deception
The author and his co-conspirators set out to discredit the Mossad-as-is by revealing its dirty tricks to the intelligence services of other nations, and to replace it with something less repulsive. They walk a fine line between hurting Mossad without harming Israel. In fact the conspirators seem dedicated to Israel, although the Canadian-born author eventually describes Israel, where he was raised by his grandparents, as "a nightmare of prejudice, wallowing in racism and waving the white and blue flag of oppression."

French Propose Their World Order
In an Aug. 25 speech that was almost surreal for its flighty idealism, French Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin called for a "new world organization" to replace the United Nations as it is currently structured. At an annual conference in Paris bringing together 200 top French diplomats and Foreign Ministry officials, de Villepin reiterated his view that the United States must cede power to a new "collective-security" organization. "[B]uilding a new world, founding a new order" was "urgent," he insisted, "an immense task that is incumbent upon us." It was France's role to lead Europe to become "one of the founding pillars" of the new system, he said.

Whistle blown on petrol pricing
Three of Australia's biggest oil companies have been raided by a corporate watchdog looking for evidence of price fixing. The lightning swoop on Caltex, Mobil, and Shell came after a whistle blower came forward with documents indicating collusion on prices.

Case of 19 terrorists unravelling
However, the case of the terrorists among us began to unravel almost as soon as the detention reviews began, with the RCMP and Citizenship and Immigration Canada distancing themselves from the idea that the men posed a clear threat to security. The RCMP, which is just beginning to sift through 25 boxes of files and 30 computers seized in the raid that netted the 19 men, said this week there is no evidence that Canada's national security is at risk. Immigration officials underlined that they are investigating only the possibility of such threats.
