Jet crashes have occurred around the world to many countries. I don't blame anyone. The USA investigation process looks to find the EXACT cause so it doesn't happen again. If the investigative process has to go silent until all the facts are known than so be it. The truth has to be known and I don't see any blaming in the public sector. All that needs to be reported ARE THE FACTS without defaming countries and persons.
It is vital the airlines have the best and correct facts. I would think the governments would as well. If this investigation has to be classified than it needs to be classified and not discussed in public. The integrity of the investigation is most important and not politics. PLEASE.

...A public quarrel erupted Monday (click here) after Metrojet, the small Russian airline scrambling to protect its reputation after the devastating crash, said that external factors were the cause of the plane’s disintegration rather than technical issues or pilot error.
Russian government officials responded with a swift rebuke that it was both premature and without foundation to speculate on what caused the crash, wanting to contain speculation — and potential embarassment — over what led to the deadliest civil aviation disaster in Russia’s history.
On Tuesday morning, Russia’s Interfax news service, citing a source in the investigation, said there were no signs of a malfunction with the plane and that pilots were chatting normally with air-traffic controllers until four minutes before an “emergency situation occurred on board unexpectedly.”
“In the recordings, sounds uncharacteristic of a standard flight precede the moment of the airliner’s disappearance from radar screens,” the news service reported without elaboration. “The pilots had no time to send out a distress signal.”
Metrojet said Monday there were no signs of an “external impact,” however, meaning a missile or other projectile.
Russia continued Tuesday to repatriate the remains of its citizens who died aboard the Airbus 320-200 Saturday shortly after take-off from the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh on its way to St. Petersburg, Russia’s second largest city.
What happened in those last four minutes of flight remains a mystery....
