Another conspiracy

Ten years ago tomorrow Flight 800 crashed seemingly without explanation. Then came Pierre Salinger and the conspiracy theorists who claimed a missile launched from a US Navy ship was responsible.

Ann Althouse looks for a possible explanation why people embrace conspiracy theories. I might suggest that such a horrible event having such a mundane cause might be the generator for the conspiracy theories. But the irony of the Kennedy connection to another conspiracy cannot pass unnoticed.
