It’s a mod, mod world. I liked how this “life imitates art” photo turned out last night, but my mind was besieged by a harrowing tale.

If someone told you exactly what happened to the missing Malaysian flight — someone with access to the intel — what would you do?

The plane took a Northern route to Pakistan, where it landed. The passengers were already dead, and the plan was to load a nuclear weapon from there and fly it to Israel. They wanted a 777 for weight carrying range, and the likely delay in a decision to shoot down a commercial plane. And when the missiles did come, the plan was for an air burst, poisoning the region.

But that plan was interrupted by Israeli special forces who took out the plane on the ground in Pakistan.

China tracked it the whole way in, with several Chinese nationals on board to protect. They cooperated with Israel in their defense.

So my mind raced — is this true, and why would the U.S. let it leak out? And not all of the U.S. efforts are on the same page. There is at least one commercial submarine effort underway to search for the black box in the Indian Ocean.
