In an unusual
move, the Malaysian government has refused to release the preliminary
report on the disappearance of Malaysian Airlines flight MH370.
“Bajc’s
announcement came after the Malaysian government did not release its
preliminary report on the flight’s disappearance. The report was
sent to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the
U.N. body for global aviation, but not made available to the public…
… Usually,
such reports to the ICAO are public, says CNN aviation
correspondent Richard Quest.
“In most
cases, the report is published because it’s not a controversial
document,” he said. “It’s a statement of facts — what
happened. And if there are any controversial or difficult facts, they
can be redacted.”” CNN
Why would they
refuse to release the preliminary report? What could possibly be the
justification for that? National security? The TPP (Obama
is going there next week to discuss trade agreements and the TPP)?
Keeping the terrorists from “winning”?
Could it be that
they are afraid if they release the report the public will come to
understand that they have been looking in the wrong place since a day
after the plane’s transponder suddenly went dark over the South
China Sea? Could it be they are afraid the public will come to
understand that the radar blip that made that “sudden left turn”
was never identified as Flight 370 and more than likely it wasn’t?
Are they afraid the public will start to wonder why some many
agencies and officials did everything they could to redirect the
search for the plane into a place they knew it would never be found?
