#2 Is anyone else getting an ever-stronger impression that Malaysia has been holding back data / evidence of what happened? Sure looks like that from here.

#5 Malaysia has been holding

Lying, incompetent... who can tell. I do suspect the Malaysian authorities would have a hard time finding Malaysia on a map.

#6 deliberate diversion

When does "improvised itinerary" join "man-made catastrophe" and "workplace violence" in the euphemisticon of the professional political weasel-word class?

#13 In a stinging commentary on Saturday, the Chinese governments Xinhua News Agency said the Malaysian information was painfully belated, resulting in wasted efforts and straining the nerves of relatives.

Given todays technology, the delay smacks of either dereliction of duty or reluctance to share information in a full and timely manner, Xinhua said. That would be intolerable.

#14 In a stinging commentary on Saturday, the Chinese government's Xinhua News Agency said the Malaysian information was "painfully belated"

That's kinda rich, considering the ChiCOms held onto their satellite info for three days before releasing it.
