Why Has The Ukraine Government Confiscated All Air Traffic Control Recordings With Malaysian Flight MH17?

Ukraine's Security Service Has Confiscated Air Traffic Control Recordings With Malaysian Jet -- Zero Hedge

Earlier, when we commented in the abnormality in the flight path of flight MH-17 we said that "perhaps before coming to "certain" conclusion about the involvement of this rebel or that, the key questions one should ask before casting blame, is why did the pilot divert from his usual flight plan, why did he fly above restricted airspace, and just what, if any instructions, did Kiev air control give the pilot in the minutes before the tragic explosion?"

The simple answer would have come if Ukraine had merely released the Air Traffic Control recording from the tower and flight MH 17, something Malaysia did in the aftermath of the disappearance of flight MH 370, which at last check has still not been uncovered.

It now appears that answer will not be forthcoming because as the BBC reports "Ukraine's SBU security service has confiscated recordings of conversations between Ukrainian air traffic control officers and the crew of the doomed airliner, a source in Kiev has told Interfax news agency."

My Comment: The media focus is on the pro-Russian rebels destroying evidence ... but if this report is true .... isn't the Ukrainian government doing (somewhat) the same thing? As far as I am concerned .... like the disappearance of flight MH 370 .... they should have released this audio yesterday.
