Terrorist dry run? Fishing for a lawsuit/settlement?

How about BOTH!

There are a number of postings about this on the internet if you google it. Some seem like very reliable sources to me. One is by the by Dr. Keith A. Robinson Corps Commander of the Houston Regional Community Chaplain Corps who was on the flight

Sure. Whatever. I can’t seem to find a Houstan Chaplin Corp and the only guy by that name I see is a dentist who doubles as a humorist/TV producer/hired speaker.

"The usual suspects, Obama’s bretheren."

Upon the first reading the mess from the AJC quisling {spit} it said, "An AirTran spokesman said a man traveling with a group Tuesday afternoon refused to turn his cell phone off before takeoff."

First thing that came to mind was, "A man? What kind of man..." Otherwise, there as nothing insofar as real information. Alright?

Then I read further, see what others might've said.
Came to Uncle Miltie's (thanks, Uncle) post at #5: "11 Muslim men got on the plane in full attire." and then I knew what kind of men. Everything else made perfect sense after that. ;^)

To see some on this thread DEFENDING this crap is unconscionable.

Thanks for the ping, my friend.
Sending out the call for others to read, because I can.
Hear me, *stormer* {spit}, you pathetic creep.

Whatever. Save your spit - it sounds as if you’re already dehydrated.

You can’t possibly think that this event has been blown completely out of hand? Bear in mind, the event took place weeks ago. In the modern political and news climate, you don’t think a story like this (given he facts as you accept them) would not have been more widely reported?

For a large number of passengers to depart the jet means something significant happened and the AJC doe not address that—not trying to anger muslimes, apparently.

Not only a large number of passangers but also the entire crew of the flight refused to fly.

They left and were replaced by another full crew.

>>You can’t possibly think that this event has been blown completely out of hand?<<

Perhaps, but my contact with a Senior FAA official in DC bears out most of the facts, that the group WAS acting out of order and intentionally causing disruption.

>>Bear in mind, the event took place weeks ago. In the modern political and news climate, you don’t think a story like this (given he facts as you accept them) would not have been more widely reported?<<

Given the political and news climate is precisely why the incident was not more widely, and loudly, reported.
