In EVERY case all the eyewitness accounts were openly discussed and ALL eyewitness statements were included as attachments in the report. None were suppressed and no witnesses were derided. No CIA came out of the shadows with a video showing that the witnesses did not see what they saw.

The attention of many witnesses was drawn to the streak they saw rising from the surface; many had no idea there was even a plane in the area until a moment before impact when they noticed the navigation lights of the 747. There were over 200 witnesses with about 75 seeing the event from the surface up. And the time was seven minutes after official sunset which was hardly dark.

Perhaps you can discuss the letter the FBI sent to the FAA basically wanting the controller who initially reported a possible missile heading to the plane to recant? And the FAA reply telling the FBI to stick it?
