That's true. On the other hand, the government's similar handling of (1) the tape from which the three frames that matter were already released, (2) the other parking lot camera that doesn't show much different (both finally released in a FOIA request this year) points to much less spectacular explanations than covering up a conspiracy.

Re: Oh for God's sake (none / 0)

Not saying your'e wrong, but if you were going to appear to be open and above board, you would have released all of the films at once.

releasing just one and then being forced to release the others through the courts, is an absolutely stupid PR move.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Re: Oh for God's sake (none / 0)

Goverments tend to do that. In relation to Starvid's "Estonia" thread, in that case the area of the shipwreck was cordoned off by the Navy for a couple of months and civilian investigators claim not to have seen all the evidence yet.
