My understanding is that the military radar tracked the plane for hours after the transponder went off. This raises some important questions:

1. How did the military not know this plane disappeared from civilian tracking systems?

2. If they did know, why did they not scramble planes to check what's going on?

3. Why did they withhold for days the fact that the plane changed direction?

The GP is right: some serious WTF going on in Malaysia.
