The Spark That Killed 230 People!
The sudden disappearance of TWA flight 800 on the night of July 17, 1996 caused an avalanche of rumors and theories about what might have happened. A Boeing 747 does not just disappear in a split second. The NTSB's investigation of the crash became the most thorough, most expensive and largest accident investigation in the Safety Board's history. No stone was left unturned. The Safety Board concluded that the probable cause of the accident was an explosion of the center wing fuel tank (CWT), resulting from ignition of the flammable fuel/air mixture in the tank. The source of the ignition was most likely an electrical short circuit. The Safety Board, in the course of its investigation, inspected numerous airplanes to check on electrical wiring. What became clear is that wiring is a huge problem in aviation. Ed Block, a Defense whstleblower tried in the 1980s to draw attention to the problem but was fired instead of awarded.

The New Totalitarians
The author argues that the social identity theory behind the "clash of civilizations" thesis is useful for analyzing the tasks before us in the "Long War" on Terrorism. The "clash of civilizations" is not actually occurring, he argues, but is rather the end goal of radical Islamist political grand strategy. Radical Islamist terrorists, like the Fascists and Communists before them, cannot allow alternative value systems to exist in areas they control. Their goal is to spread such totalitarian beliefs to the entire Muslim world in order to create a violent "clash" with non-Muslim societies, and, in some versions, radical Islam is expected to spread to the entire world. The author argues that t...
