MISSING MH370: Radar data suggests plane flown deliberately toward Andaman
KUALA LUMPUR: Military radar-tracking evidence suggests a Malaysia Airlines jetliner missing for nearly a week was deliberately flown across the Malay peninsula towards the Andaman Islands....still a stretch but hopefully a chance for passenger survival.

Since the Malaysian government owns the airline they can be expected to be slow to release any information that would make it look like is was their fault.
Additionally they did not want the US involved because they probably feared the US would expose information making them look bad verses trying to make it look like or least create uncertainty that there could have been a problem with the "Boeing" plane.
It was not until the weight of evidence from the West was such that the Malaysian government began to talk about the possibility the plane could have been diverted from within the aircraft. The foot dragging by the Malaysian government in not letting more sophisticated forces analyze their primary data and there lack of reaction when the plane's transponder went off amounts to criminal negligence at best.
As punishment to them for laxity and as warning to other countries the Malaysian Airline's landing rights around the world should be suspended indefinitely.
Currents reports indicate the plane could have made to Pakistan...very likely, however it may have just been refueled there and taken to Iran or near by there to be refitted with some of their newly created nuclear technology. Or the Taliban may have gotten their hands on a Pakistani nuclear device which has been loaded on the plane.
The West, Israel and the US are going to have put their air defense systems on high alert for all in bound non domestic air traffic. Any heavy aircraft leaving Mideast air space needs to be intercepted and check out to see if is a Boeing 777.

Another possible reason for the delay by the Malaysian government might be that they were in the plot from the planning stages. That also fits the data.
In over a week this a/c could have been moved several times if the SAT com antenna had been disabled....if could even be in the US or Canada or in South America.
I agree and I've said before, this aircraft or its wreckage needs to be found before many governments can rest easy. Once landed all automatic communication systems can be disabled and even the orange boxes removed. Physically this aircraft will always be a 777 but electronically it can be made to look like anything. If not at the bottom of the ocean, the longer this goes on, the more places in the world this aircraft could be.
I don't think that this plane would ever fly again without the satellites sucking up everything it wants to communicate. There are numerous parties willing to line up for the previledge to pay for the communications. The Maylasians might find the small investment now worth it. If not whoever I underwriting their insurance would. Plus a whole list of intelligence/ security agencies. Then the myriad of journalist organizations wanting to het a scoop.
The plane's communication would not at this late date be ignored. Those communications would be very important and very valuable.

AWACS planes flying down from the Middle East and Central Asia (Afghanistan area) followed by refueling tankers could've provided good radar coverage in middle of the ocean to insure that the plane wouldn't get past those unmonitored air corridors to safe haven without being found and tracked. No unknown bogeys wouldn't have passed without getting a look see.
But the Malaysians dropped the ball, and made sure no one else had a chance either.
How sick that in the first few hours some were excited by how forthcoming they perceived the Malaysians to be from the mere release of a passenger manifest soon after announcing the missing plane. This, despite the announcement coming so long after them having been informed that the plane was lost from radar (soon after departure).
