Stolen Plane Vehicle for Propaganda

They Have No Idea; Might As Well Spin the Story

When asked a question to which they have no answer, "officials" can still conjure up an answer that helps their agenda.

In this case, MSNBC wanted to know what progress, if any, had been made on finding a stolen 727 airliner that disappeared from an airport in Angola three months ago. The "officials" had no idea; but the opportunity to plant seeds of propaganda didn't escape them. Here's how MSNBC wrote the non-story:

"Investigators still do not what happened to a Boeing 727 cargo jet that vanished from an Angolan airport in May, but they have now concluded that the jet likely ended up being given a new appearance and put to use in Africa’s thriving illegal market for planes, possibly in gun-running or narcotics smuggling, U.S. officials and aviation experts told NBC News."

Possibly in the slave trade, or carting around short-lived heads of state; possibly stripped for parts; possibly -- anything. Propaganda: ya gotta love it.
