The story thus far: An United States A-10 warplane on a live bombing run breaks formation and spends the next hour flying toward Colorado. Just short of Vail, it changes course, headed toward Denver, and then shortly thereafter changes direction, heading south, only to reverse its course, and once again head toward Denver/Vail. During this whole time, the Air Force contends that no radio contact was made, nor did they know where the plane was. They offer no explaination except an extremely weak claim that perhaps the pilot was suicidal or stressed. The bottom line is that the media seems to be totally ignoring the fact that even the military's shakey explaination of these events suggests that the American public may have been in great danger from a mentally unbalanced Air Force pilot in control of a war-machine capable of creating mass destruction upon an American city. Even the least bit of scrutiny of the trail followed by the A-10 suggests a pilot who had a destination in mind, had to take evasive action upon nearing his target, and then doubled back toward his original target. And the best explaination that the military can provide is that a U.S. warplane capable of doing major damage to a U.S. city just flew around for over an hour, with no way for the military to prevent it from bombing our citizens. The military tells us that a warplane approached some of the most sensitive military installations in the country, without being noticed or intercepted. The fact is, the military is in a no-win situation, whether they reveal that U.S. citizens were potentially endangered by the military's lack of control over U.S. warplanes, or reveal that they were forced to intercept and shoot down a U.S. warplane intending to attack a U.S. populated area. I have no doubt that the military, given time, will come up with a cover story which contains "plausibal deniability," etc., etc. The big mystery is why the media seems incapable of even raising questions probing at the obvious holes in the government's irrational explainations of this affair.
