As far as the Cubana crash, I was not aware of that but I can't remember everything that was in the news in 1976. It's not because I condone the hypocrisy of a country that purports to be fighting a war on terror while letting a known terrorist go free; but because it happened over 30 years ago and didn't have the impact on the American psyche that other events such as the Challenger explosion or 9/11 did.

I'm not embarrassed nor ashamed; I didn't see this thread until now. And that part I put in bold sounds suspiciously like baiting. I realize it's an old post but you need to play nice.
