The explanation reminds me of a Peter Dale Scott comment (from one of his poems, funnily enough) when a congressional staffer angrily took Scott aside after PDS had gone a bit too far trying to help some sham investigation or another: "There are some things you don't write down in Washington."
We all know the Ace of Spades was either a message of warning to someone, or a bit of smug spookcraft done to amuse the rest of the gang, or possibly both. Neither can be written about by the mainstream media though, so it's another one of those facts that never happened.
Anytime anyone mentions the Hammarskjold crash anywhere, they should point out the Ace of Spades being stuffed in Dag's clothing after the event right up front. It puts the whole crash in perspective.
How many world leaders did Dulles help assassinate, and how many major peace overtures did he squash? I've lost count.
