Seems that the 1600 Crew, those obsessively fair and open-minded maroons are tossing more midnight where the sun ought to be shining. The Columbia Investigation is going underground. Deep underground. Using a tricky legal loophole, the adminstration is putting the civilian members of the accident board on the Federal Payroll, which means that there is now no requirement for there to be public meetings, disclosure or anything else that might lead to embarrasing revelations about the accident. They of course, would have us believe it's to make "witnesses" give "more honest" testimony. What a crock.
Is there something else, like was President Too-Dumb-To-Not-Go-AWOL down at the Cape beating on the leading edge of the wing with a ball-peen hammer right before take-off? No? Well bad conspiracy theory anyhow.
Try this one on for size: The contractor in charge of the wing insulation might have been somehow affiliated with CheneyBurton or Carlyle.
