ロイター報道をイスラエルのハ−レツ紙が掲載している。長官の言葉で気になるのは以下。
"I'd like to know the definitive answer: who shot who, what occurred,”
「ハッキリとした答えが知りたいものです、誰が誰を撃ち落としたのか、何が起きたのかという答えをね。」
この誰が誰を打ち落とした、って言う表現は一体何？無意識に出た言葉かなあ。
いずれにせよ、オキーフ長官は、（いちおう、NASAとは独立しているとされる）独立事故調査委員会は原因を特定できないだろうと、繰り返し述べている。なぜ、彼がそんな事をいわなければならないのだろう。彼は口にすべき権限をもっていないのに。彼は大統領の腹心中の腹心とされる人。
要するに、政権側は、この事件をお蔵入りにしたいことだけは十分感じさせるのだ。
実はこの事故独立調査委員会の数人の民間人メンバーはNASAから非常に高い報酬をもらっている事が判明死ている．つまり、独立性はないわけだ。この点からしても、現政権は、原因追及に消極的というより、臭いものにフタという姿勢が見えみえなのだ。
この長官の言葉、米国報道機関では全く見なかった．米国人はこの報道をまったく知らない模様だ。イスラエルだけが掲載している模様だ。イスラエルの意志がくっきり見える。
あの事件やはり何かきな臭い。
NASA: Cause of shuttle disaster may never be known
By Reuters
WASHINGTON - The precise cause of the shuttle Columbia disaster may never be known, but finding the probable cause would ease the shuttle fleet's return to flight, NASA chief Sean O'Keefe said Thursday.
"I'd like to know the definitive answer: who shot who, what occurred, all the things that would line up with certainty, no ambiguity and no question," O'Keefe said. "Life ain't that clear."
While O'Keefe said he and others at NASA were hopeful that independent investigators would determine what caused Columbia's fatal February 1 disintegration, he told reporters that investigators may only be able to find a probable cause.
The NASA chief said that if the Columbia Accident Investigation Board fails to determine an exact cause, board chairman retired Admiral Harold Gehman has said the board will offer a working scenario of what made the Columbia fall apart over Texas, killing all seven astronauts aboard, including Israel's first spaceman, Ilan Ramon.
"I think that'll lead us down the road towards a return to flight strategy that takes into account the probable conditions or actual causes, whatever they may be," he said.
A report released on Tuesday by the Columbia board said foam broke off the shuttle's fuel tank and struck the left wing 81 seconds after launch, and that a hole in that section of the wing led to the orbiter's destruction 16 days later as it re-entered Earth's atmosphere.
But there was no conclusion that the foam impact caused the hole in the wing.
O'Keefe said the return to shuttle flight would probably not take "a horrific amount of time" or require a major redesign of the shuttles.
As for when the shuttles might launch, O'Keefe said: "Is later this calendar year ambitious? Probably so. But it's not outside the realm of possible."
He discounted critics who question whether the shuttles should ever carry humans into space again, saying the astronaut corps has no qualms about flying in the orbiters.
The return to shuttle flight is key for the International Space Station, where a bare-bones crew of two replaced the three-person crew that had been aboard the orbiting outpost since November 25.
