- Jack Cashill, the man behind the stunning documentary
video "Silenced: Flight 800 and the Subversion of Justice," was
abruptly pulled from participating on tonight's edition of CNN's "The
Point."
-
- Hours before the broadcast, after the studio was already
set up, Cashill got a call from the show's producer telling him his appearance
was scrapped because Jim Hall, ex-chairman of the National Transportation
and Safety Board would not go on the show with him.
-
- "Someone upstairs told her that responsible journalism
means I can't appear on the show without a counter balance," explains
Cashill. "But, ironically, it's OK for Jim Hall to appear by himself."
-
- TWA Flight 800, a Boeing 747, exploded in July 1996 shortly
after taking off from New York's Kennedy Airport, killing all 230 people
onboard. The explosion was witnessed by 736 people. The U.S. government
issued an explanation that a fuel tank had somehow exploded. Officials
flatly denied any evidence existed of foul play, including the possibility
that Flight 800 had been blown out of the air by a missile.
-
- Cashill's investigation, however, reveals documented
facts that fly in the face of the official explanation. His video presents
compelling evidence and eyewitness testimony that Flight 800 was shot down
by missile fire and that a massive government cover-up followed the tragic
event.
-
-
- WorldNetDaily recently ran a five-part series by Cashill
that chronicles his investigative work. The WND contributing writer's latest
column explains why the federal government would cover-up the truth about
the Flight 800 tragedy.
-
- Cashill points out that CNN's definition of "responsible
journalism" changed from yesterday to today.
-
- "The producer called me yesterday and asked me if
I minded going on the show by myself," Cashill said. Then this morning,
the producer informed him she had Hall coming on to join Cashill.
-
- "I had an ominous feeling. It sounded too ripe,"
Cashill said.
-
- Hours later, the producer called again and apologetically
canceled Cashill with the explanation that Hall's publicist had insisted
Cashill not go on, according to Cashill.
-
- Instead, Hall appeared on the program alone. When asked
why it was acceptable for Hall to appear alone and not Cashill, a CNN network
source replied that Hall had credibility because he was a former government
official, but that Cashill's only credibility was that he was a documentary
producer.
-
- "The control of information here is so transparent,"
says Cashill. When asked if he felt CNN had been pressured by the government
to silence him, Cashill responded, "I don't know."
-
- The cancellation doesn't surprise Cashill. In 1997, James
Sanders, a former police officer turned investigative reporter and author
of "The Downing of TWA Flight 800," was due to appear on ABC's
"Good Morning America" along with FBI agent-in-charge Jim Kallstrom.
When Kallstrom refused to appear with Sanders, according to Cashill, Sanders
was canceled and Kallstrom appeared on the program alone.
-
- "At least there are people at CNN who tried, and
my hat's off to them," says Cashill.
-
- "I still hold out hope for them. But that hope would
be amplified if viewers were to call CNN about this."

CNN Tonight...
-
- To Greta Van Susteren,
-
- "Tonight's show: Tuesday, July 17, 2001 Greta will
(not) speak to Jack Cashill about his controversial new documentary, and
former NTSB Chairman Jim Hall will tell us where the government stands."
-
-
- What the hell happened to Jack Cashill, the man behind
the stunning documentary video "Silenced: Flight 800 and the Subversion
of Justice"?!!!
-
- I don't normally watch your show. I was informed that
Mr. Cashill would be on to counter the all to familiar NTSB/Government/Jim
Hall line that all's well. (This line from the same Government that gave
us Iran Contra, Watergate, etc.) I am VERY disappointed that you did not
have the courage to let this man on to have a much greater audience than
he has ever had I am sure. But no. You opted to have Mr. Hall on yet again.
As you have nothing but the status quo to uphold unquestioningly, I will
not partake of your show again.
-
- ASK YOURSELF THIS: What if it had been a rocket, from
either terrorists or an accidental Navy missile launch and you, by not
having Jack Cashill on just denied ALL of those victims full disclosure
and justice. How would you feel?
-
- Shame on you.

- Greta,
-
- When you bow to pressure and assist in censorship of
the news, you have a responsibility to inform your viewing audience why
you are not allowing Jack Cashill to go face-to-face with Jim Hall.
-
- Your audience has a right to know that Jim Hall does
not have the courage to debate critical issues that literally determine
his possible criminal culpability in obstructing justice within the TWA
Flight 800 investigation.
-
- The audience also has the right to know senior CNN management
endorse the concept of news censorship of facts critical to maintaining
an informed electorate.
-
- Jack Cashill and James Sanders produced a video using
facts to debunk the NTSB/FBI/CIA alleged investigation of TWA Flight 800.
If the facts presented in the video are wrong, Jim Hall would have faced
Cashill in order to destroy the video's credibility. Instead, Jim Hall
refused to engage Cashill and the facts in the video.
-
- It was CNN's responsibility as an alleged news organization
to present these facts to your viewing public. Instead, you censored the
story. You worked hand-in-hand with those afraid to publicly debate the
veracity of their "investigation" to continue to keep from the
public critical news.
-
- That by definition makes you a shill.
-
- James D. Sanders
