THE TTS AWARD FOR MOST UNRELIABLE AND DODGIEST SECURITY SERVICE OF THE YEAR 2014

No contest.

The Ukraine Security Service win this award. The rest are nowhere.

Was MH17 shot down from Chernukhino?

Or Shizhne?

Chernukhino! Shizhne! Chernukhino! Shizne! Oh yes it was! Oh no it wasn't!

Actually, this is not a sick Kiev Nazi pantomime. It is a very important matter.

Because The Ukraine Security Service released tapes of alleged phone intercepts which implicated Cossacks shooting down MH17 from Chernukhino. And they also released a video of a BUK with missing missiles in Luhansk which they said was filmed at dawn on 18th July.

But the current trend, and one which Eliot Higgins seems pleased with, is that MH17 was shot down from Shizhne.

Now:
1. assuming that the video of a BUK in Luhansk was filmed on 18th July, how did a BUK get from Shizhne through the war zone south of Luhansk to be in a western suburb (and western is crucial) of Luhansk at sunrise on 18th July? Look at a map and check the routes. Can Higgins suggest a route?
2. that crossroads where the BUK was filmed in Luhansk is on a natural route from Chernukhino, not Shizhne, and the separatists claim they shot down an Antonov An 26 on 14th July from Chernukhino.

So if:
1. the tapes of intercepts have been cobbled together by the Ukraine Security Service; and
2. the BUK in the video filmed in a western suburb (let's not forget western) of Luhansk was not filmed on 18th July as stated by the Ukraine Security Service but was filmed before and is the BUK that shot down the Antonov An 26 on 14th July,

then what does Higgins have to say about the Ukraine Security Service, the reliability of any evidence that they have handled so far (including the photos used by RTL), and in particular their suitability as custodians of evidence from MH17?

And would a neutral and much more international investigation therefore be more suitable than one led by NATO who want Ukraine in NATO?
