Kharon I agree - It is a Malaysian plane that has disappeared, so why aren't Malaysia leading the charge?? Why let a two-bit pony pooh outfit in Australia, which is led by a bean counting bearded/beardless Beaker who couldn't find his piss-horn in the dark? So it's really not a dilemma that is that complex really;

a) either the Malaysians are absolutely and unequivocally stupid and don't have the ability to find a mouse in a mousetrap, or:

b) they are very astute buggers and are acting like a child in need and hence been allowed to delegate the role to team Beaker as they know that Beaker and Co will fail?  

Then there is the third possibility and it could be that there is indeed some kind of high level conspiracy amongst several of the worlds most powerful/influential nations to cover this incident up. But for that to be the case there would have to be a very serious agenda behind this entire tragedy? Where's Julian Assange when you need him??

Either way you look at it the entire episode does not stack up, it follows no logical path (that is identifiable at this stage), and the actions (or inaction) of Malaysia and other involved is 'beyond reason'.
