So was it "poor" identification or "misidentification" robomatic? The Iranian plane was signalling on a civilian channel (contrary to one of the Pentagon's lies), and contrary to the Vincennes crew's claims it was climbing towards 12000ft not diving towards the Vincennes from lower altitude. Big difference. Sounds like the US Navy was too confused to attempt much in the way of identification. KAL007 was shot down by a Soviet interceptor. And yes, I suppose the US is not as bad as the USSR. You must be proud. What does "barely an attempt at identification" mean, and on what is that claim based? Maybe it would be wiser to wait till we know a bit more/ The Pentagon's behaviour re IAF655 should have taught us to be wary of early claims by one vested interest or another.
