Do you think we blow up commercial airliners for the fun of it?
No, we don't. At least, I sure hope not.

However, Captain Rogers was well informed about this situation before
ordering the shoot-down. His exec, Commander Foster, testified later
that he had informed Rogers this was an A300 -- the ISAR would have
completely imaged the engines and profile quite easily -- especially
at close to 10 miles out, which is when the launch order was given.
The aircraft was in a climbing attitude, as well, not descending, and
was in the commercial flight path. It had never "squawked a military
transponder code" as was initially claimed by the Reagan admin. That
was determined objectively through an examination of the data files
from over 50 French aircraft flying in the area at the time, among
other things. This ship was an AEGIS cruiser and was completely in
the data loop of other aircraft, including the French planes. They
pretty much KNEW what they were doing when Rogers ordered the kill.

Frankly, there was no good excuse. And this kind of event should not
ever happen. The bottom line is that the US, with the best people and
some of the best equipment on one of the more advanced surface vessels
(and AEGIS cruiser), with good information on the civilian flight
schedules at hand, with an aircraft that was close to "on time" and
flying along a proper corridor in a climbing attitude, was still shot
down. Certainly, no one should defend it.

Rogers had been chasing around some gun boats and had invaded the 12
mile limit around Iran. He had been warned at least twice (recorded
on tape) by an Omani vessel (friendly) to leave the area immediately.
He was an excessively aggressive Captain, pursuing his own wreckless
course, and was probably very much on edge at the time. He made a
very bad decision. It's now a standard chapter in a course of studies
about how such things can go very wrong.

Personally, I have no question (I know, because I talked with some who
were on board at the time) that the electronics intelligence folks
knew this was an airliner and that this was reported through the exec
to Rogers fully two minutes before the order was given. Rogers should
not have been where he was, doing what he was doing. He knew he was
violating good policy and good judgment and the wreckless result was
disasterous and inexcusable.

It's not something to defend in any way. Captain Rogers did NOT
exemplify proper behavior of a commanding officer in the US Navy.

Go back and read it again.

As I recall, instead of debating a poster's claims, Eeyore was
claiming the poster was insane in order to try to discredit the
poster and, thus, his claims.

I merely pointed out that being insane doesn't automatically
preclude also being right.

I think suggesting that Islam wants to destroy our bridges, roads,
computers and manufacturing plants among other items suggested is a
pretty reliable indicator of some kind of mental illness.

Perhaps it's a little harsh, but you might want to get a little
better educated in the matter by going to:

http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=22415

also, Googling for "Radical Islam western overthrow" yields some
interesting hits.

As far as mental illness goes, I suggest that your rabid
pathological hatred for America and your unrelenting Ameriphobia
might be something you'd like to talk about with a psychiatrist.
Psychiatric care _is_ free under your system, isn't it? So what've
you got to lose except that chip on your shoulder and that ache in
your guts?

Oh, well... shit happens.

If the USA had said that, no doubt in more diplomatic terms, and compensated the families
of those killed along with Iran Air for the loss of its Airbus, I'm sure there would still
have been some justifiable grumbles but the USA would at least be seen to have discharged
its moral obligations. Instead the relatives had to take the USA to court and the
bitterness continues.

The problems we have in the UK (IMHO obviously) are that we are heading
towards legislation which (for example) bans jokes made at the expense of
religions because it may cause offence. This strikes me as playing into
the hands of the fear mongers.

Ah, I see now. I can't think of an instance of Political Correctness
reaching the extent of legislation in the US yet, but I'm sure someone
will point some out to me. However, I lay this more at the feet of
people/groups that are too eager to take offense at what someone says.
It's a hard issue, though, because I also feel that everybody has a
responsibility to respect others' thoughts and actions and choices. I
think the answer is that everybody needs to be just a tad more sensitive
to the consequences of their own actions and words, including on other
peoples' feelings, while at the same time being a tad less sensitive to
the consequences of others's actions and words. A noble aim to strive
for, at the least.

Part of the problem is an apparent "desire" to be seen to be doing the right
thing, rather than actually doing it. The MP in question (in my example)
stated he felt he could not communicate properly with his constituents if
they wore a veil. A veil is not mandated dress in the Koran. If I went in
there with a bikers helmet on he would ask me to remove it and no one would
bat an eyelid.

(As always IMHO) The problem is this fawning to over-sensitive people (they
have a choice - remove the veil or vote for some one else....), creates a
situation where idiotic rabble rousers (National Front et al) can easily
spin this to get the culturally-challenged sections of our society thinking
there is a "Muslim Threat." (This thread appears to support this!).

I have no issues with external cultures integrating with the UK, but they
must integrate. Arriving and demanding the host culture subsume itself to
the arrived one is (IMHO) wrong.
I agree wholeheartedly with our sentiments here. The PC apologisists are as
responsible as those making unrealisitc demands. All they will acheive is to
create more hostility.

As someone who can defend a US warship shooting down a civilian airliner

Bush:

President Bush continued his attack on Democrats for "selectively" quoting an
intelligence report, claiming that their "argument buys into the enemy's
propaganda."

Bush said of the Democratic leadership: "It sounds like they think the best
way to protect the American people is -- wait until we're attacked again."
Did he say "treason"?

I didn't speak to him, though I did read his testimony. I don't

In general, I'd guess it is a very difficult thing to consider doing
and it may very well (in this circumstance) have meant getting
summarily shot or else locked up for a long time with exactly the same
result, regardless. And more specifically, the exec may have felt the
Captain was privy to special orders that weren't his business. That
may have actually been the case, too. Such things aren't made public

You had me until that last sentence. I don't think many people do logically

to them that they are mistaken in making overbroad generalizations about
people, they would understand and accede. Instead, pointing it out to some

Yes, I agree with your point. Perhaps you missed mine. I meant but did

Actually it is fairly easy if you don't care about size or quality. The
material doesn't have to be "weapons grade" either. For a given yeld, the
bomb gets bigger as some very rapid function of impurity content but it
isn't a step function. You could stop short of what the US or Russia used
for material.

To get a high yeld you need to get the reaction material together and to
stay together for a longish time while the pressure is trying to push it
apart. If you use a huge surplus of material its own interia will hold a
portion of the material in. This gives a low yeld and very dirty bomb.

It also makes for a very heavy bomb with attendant issues wrt launching it on a
missile !
That's why they make cargo ships. If you need to move something that is
too big and heavy to send by air you can send it on a ship. It is harder
to time exactly when the delivery will be because of weather etc but if
you are thinking in a many year time frame it may not matter to you.
