"The question is will the top end be 3-6 inches or 6-12 inches?"

Rackstraw. <br /><br />The investigators claim that hidden messages in the coding indicate Rackstraw had a deep covert history with the CIA, which explains why the FBI closed their investigation without finding out the hijacker's true identity. <br /><br />Tom Colbert, the lead investigator of the 40-person cold case team, revealed his findings outside the J. Edgar Hoover Building in Washington DC on Thursday. <br /><br />He said the evidence points to a conclusion that the FBI was guilty of 'stonewalling, covering up evidence and flat-out lying for decades'.
