Here it is, "The Russian airliner was brought down by a terrorist bomb. There is no information to contradict that."
Right Sure.
In other words, let's get on with a war on incomplete information. Where have I witnessed that before? Oh, yeah, Iraq and "W."
"And stay tuned folks for an exclusive interview with JEB!"
Now, that sounds right.
In case the truth matters:

Sharm - el - Sheikh, Egypt (AP) — The latest on the crash (click here) of a Russian plane in Egypt that killed all 224 people onboard last Saturday. (All times local.)

The Kremlin says President Vladimir Putin and Egyptian leader Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi spoke by telephone a few hours after Putin called for Russia to suspend passenger flights to Egypt.
A Kremlin statement late Friday said the leaders agreed to further cooperation in order to "confirm the overall effectiveness of the security measures taken by Egyptian authorities at the airports of the country."
Russian carrier Metrojet's Airbus A321-200 crashed shortly after takeoff from the Sharm el-Sheikh airport in Egypt on Saturday, killing all 224 people on board.
Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov earlier Friday said Russian flights will be suspended for as long as it takes Egyptian authorities to put "a proper level of security" into place. The move is expected to devastate Egyptian tourism....

Business owners who cater to tourists in Egypt's Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh say the Russian decision to suspend flights to the country may be catastrophic for them.
For 17 years, Ayman Aweiss has been running a cafe on a main drag in the city. On Friday, his cafe was empty. He says every business owner in Sharm el-Sheikh will be forced to leave after a month if there aren't any Russian tourists....
He says that if the situation remains like this "we can't live."...
The fact there is a lower expectation of security in Egypt the Russian government has made it clear the flights cannot continue until better measures are issued in Egypt.
This not an unusual situation in the world. There have been terrorist threats on jets to the USA because extremists could work their way through a country without secure systems.
In my opinion, for whatever it is worth theses days, Russia was correct in demanding better security with or without a potential terrorist attack. Every country in the world is compromised by countries that do not invest in upholding the security measures found in cities of origination of flights. There should be no doubt security in global airports should be seamless. I don't know that I would get on a flight if there wasn't good security. Why fly to a country that has extremists within the society and do little to nothing to insure tourists' safety.
By the way, reporting half truths as 'the truth' is unethical.
And what did JEB! say? The exact same words as "W." Except, he adds, "We should be focused on the future and not the past." Doesn't everyone wish he would.
