Peter Lance has an explosive new book about 9/11 and TWA 800 called "Cover Up -- What the Government is still Hiding About the War on Terror." I've read it, and it's fantastic. Here is what's hopefully the first of the media coverage about it:
http://www.canoe.ca/NewsStand/Columnists/Toronto/Thane_Burnett/2004/09/05/616438.htmlIn Cover Up, Lance draws a compelling line from terror mastermind Ramzi Yousef to the 1996 downing of TWA Flight 800 south of Long Island. All 230 people on board were killed. From the night it went into the ocean, some have believed a missile was responsible.
Although the official U.S. justice department investigative line has pointed to an electrical arc in the centre fuel tank, Lance asserts that terror mastermind Ramzi Yousef ordered the plane bombed from his prison cell.
The convicted mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing -- a true evil genius of his craft -- Yousef also had a plan to blow up 11 U.S. commercial aircraft in one day of terrorism.
Lance says, thanks to underworld ties which stretch back generations -- a tight kinship between organized crime and U.S. lawmen -- the FBI was alerted to Yousef's plans for TWA 800 in advance. An informant even passed on a sketch of the terrorist's bomb. But thanks to personal motives, says Lance, the incident was dismissed. They ignored an opportunity to penetrate the cell that was planning 9/11.

The Santa Barbara Independent has a more extensive and better article on his book:
