I'll say no more about the Vincennes/Iran Air than this. Willow Run's attempt to discriminate between two circumstantially different examples of grotesque incompetence is nothing more than sophistry. The fact that the outcomes should have both been quite different is something no doubt shared by the Vincennes' crew and the rabble operating the Buk system - who thought they'd brought down a Ukranian Antonov military transport.

I recall, some time in the early 90s, being shown a "USS Vincennes" baseball cap being proudly displayed in the home of a serving US Naval Intelligence officer of vocally Christian conviction. I still have no idea why an otherwise decent man should have been able to reconcile this crime with his beliefs, much less advertise it.
