Re: Malaysia Airlines Plane is Missing

You made a lot of good points, but even the explanation of State level intelligence operation could be a tough sell. I mean, if the objective is to prevent somebody or something from reaching Beijing, then a State level intelligence organization would have a million other easier, cheaper, and less risky ways to do it than to make a 777 disappear in the air and appear on international headlines. I can think of no possible scenario that would make any rationally minded state level intelligence organization choosing to do this, instead of just staging an assassination or recovery operation when the target was in Malaysia. Can you think of the cost of pulling this off? Spy have budgets too. Not to mention the catastrophic consequences for the organization and the state if anyone outside found out the truth. You also can't explain this as a last ditch effort, that they couldn't intercept the target before it board the plane, because a stunt like this will take even the most powerful "intelligence organization" weeks if not months or years to plan for. If it is truly a last ditch effort, a state level player could easily just issue a specific terrorist attack warning and force the plane to turn back, then they'll have time to do whatever they need to do in Malaysia; the last thing they want is to hijack the plane with hundreds of civilians and land it on a secret base, only a Bond villain would do that.
One objection to SampanViking's model:
Which rebel organisation controls a runway large enough to receive a 777?
I mentioned Diego Garcia only because it is the only Southern island I know in the Indian Ocean, without looking at a map, with a suitable runway.
The US news outlets are reporting MH370 flew on for about 7 hours, after communication went dark. How does a plane supposedly with only 5 hours of fuel fly for 7 hours? What are the authorities withholding from the public?
I think it was supposed to be a 5 hour flight but enough fuel reserves to push 7. I'm still wondering why MAF did not scramble with a UFO on their radar. Sorta tells me if another state wants to invade Malaysia, their air defenses may not be up to par. And it took them a long time to bring up this info, perhaps aware of the blow back by people like me wondering why no scramble?
The US is being forthcoming.The US shouldn't be less forthcoming with any information, just so the rest of the 14 countries know where to concentrate their Search & Rescue efforts.
As to why it took so long, well, we are now looking at these hourly pings to satellites. Probably took a day or two (at least) for anyone to think of using them...it is not at all how aircraft are normally tracked. And then they had to get the info from the satellites, analyze it, and then come up with the scenario.I would also question: why the delay of 6 or 7 days in the release of information about the satellite transmissions?
The US is being forthcoming.
In my post I opined that the US seemed to be less forthcoming with Malaysia...and then immediately followed that with the point that the US is being open to the world with their sending of the USS Kidd to the Indian Ocean and the US being forthright to the world about the sat comms it has become aware of where the aircraft pings to try and establish comms which satellites pick up.
So, there was no attempt, either in my post, or in the US actions to not be forthcoming...my point was that in my opinion the US seems to be more and more frustrated or impatient with how Malaysia is handling thing.

The info we are following now is not something that is readily available as a matter of course. The authorities and analysts in the US and elsewhere are having to dig into the info available from third and fourth level equipment in an attempt to find any information they can use to help track and locate the aircraft.
