world. plus the fact that he went to flight school in arizona. he spent a considerable amount of time studying in the united states and would have had friends and teachers and classmates here that would be worth interview asking try to find out what the back ground was then. don t forget when the investigation started the concern also was whether or not he might have joined some extremist group and have an ideology motive for doing this opposed to maybe a more personal mental health issues with just himself. that has not been ruled out yet, has it? i think almost. we have not seen every document or e-mail. they re pretty much convince that had it looks like he did not have a motive that was political or religious or some other ideology. we know from the beginning that we did not have a plane that was shot down like the one in
