Furthermore, this congressman is showing his ignorance by jumping on the media bandwagon in an effort to affect popular opinion. This is the public hearing, the preliminary factual hearing if you will. The probable causes will not be issued until the Sunshine hearing, sometime later in the year, or perhaps next year. Basing any official opinion upon information obtained during this hearing is disrespectful to the process, and ignorant. It is similar to attempting to sentence someone to death for murder, before they have been formally charged. There is a legal process that MUST take place if we wish to truly learn from our mistakes, and prevent them in the future. One day The FAA, Colgan Airlines, The Person at starbucks will be officialy reported as being one of the causal factors leading to this accident. At that point, the letters should be written, the laws should be evaluated, and the media should report the facts, not the opinions. Until then, he is simply trying to make himself feel important.
