Welcome Aboard ISILwings Flight 9525?

Yeah, I've read the reports tracing back to one source, and it comports with my initial instincts and suspicions, and no, I don't expect the "authorities" are all that incentivized to be immediately forthright with their findings, but we also need to be on guard against disinformation, especially the kind that appeals to predispositions. Spreading what is as yet a rumor started for purposes unknown can only erode the credibility of the messengers if it turns out to be a setup to get some to take the bait and start screaming.

That doesn't mean efforts should not be made to guard against and expose any cover-ups.

Well said. Everyone with a cause will be trying to blame the co-pilot's actions on their particular boogie-man.
