I wonder
why Westerbeke is open to the possibility that the source of the high energy objects was something other than a ground to air missile.
The last Westerbeke was in the news regarding MH17 was Sept. 12 when he said that investigators were particularly interested in 25 metal objects recovered from bodies and luggage. 500 foreign objects were found, but the focus was on 25 of them. This strikes me as selecting a sample to fit a theory rather than examining the whole population of foreign objects with a willingness to follow where the evidence leads.

On Sept. 12 Westerbeke seemed confident that the sample would confirm that MH17 was shot down by a ground to air missile. Now, having plenty of time to thoroughly examine the sample of foreign metal objects, Westerbeke is open to the possibility that something other than a ground to air missile was the cause.
What does Westerbeke know that underlies his present position?
