Cant really see what the argument is about. So what if the goverment ordered a couple of Jets to take the Airliner out?
It presented a great threat in the hands of the hijackers.
And....I donīt blame if they want to hide it. To prevent the Mega-Multi Billion dollar sue that would unmisstakely follow its foot prints.
Just forget about it, the passangers died in a crash.
