If the plane had exploded in the air would there more likely to be debris floating as opposed to a plane landing in the ocean intact?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

The two stolen passports are connected to tickets purchased by two Iranian men.

From what I've read, the tickets were purchased by an Iranian intermediary from a Thai ticket agent - with whom he did regular business over the years, the whole process being fairly standard for that place - and the holders of the tickets (from CCTV footage, as related by a Malaysian investigator) were Black and likely from Africa.

If that is true, I'm guessing they were illegal immigrants rather than terrorists.

It was breaking news when I saw it so the details were not known to me.  I still doubt terrorism though.  I'm still thinking it was simply a terrible accident.

If they were cheaters, God picked a shitty time and place to smite them.  :(

I would imagine it will ultimately turn out that the plane was shot down by the Chinese.

They aren't boastful.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

They are quiet humble sorts of terrorists.  They just want to be left alone to terrorize in peace and I get that.

I suppose it's possible that a terrorist group has claimed responsibility, and it hasn't been reported for some reason.  Perhaps they only informed the Chinese government and the Chinese haven't spread the word, or they have made some public announcement but nobody picked it up or took it seriously.

I read that a hitherto unknown Muslim Uighur group claimed responsibility with a PDF statement some time after the fact, but that the Chinese government dismissed the claim as being non-credible.

You know, even of they did do it I think there's a certain beauty to dismissing and then completely ignoring the claim.

Maybe the terrorists aren't saying anything because none of them survived the crash?
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

You know what's even more beautiful?  Publicly ignore the claim; secretly arrest the entire group  :menace:
