Believe what you want -- that's the best part. I merely share what I can.

Please keep sharing, it helps to present both sides of the issues.

That said, a personal friend of mine whom I've known for 25 years is in a postion to "know". He won't tell me a thing, not ONE thing. Jokingly, he tells me that he'd "have to kill me if he told me"....but his lips are sealed shut. I respect that.....immensely.

Stolen Plane Flies Through Power Lines in Texas and Crashes, Pilot Vanishes

LAKE JACKSON, Texas (AP) - A stolen single-engine airplane flew through power lines, blacking out about 11,000 customers, and then crashed, and the pilot vanished.

The FBI joined the investigation and planned to question the owners of other aircraft based at the Brazoria County Airport, said Louis Jones, the county aviation director.

It could be just some idiot "joy-flying", OR.....

There is also the possibility that the US deliberately releases this info as a "rumor" to keep the terrorists guessing.

Some "leaks" are deliberate.

But they don't want to officially confirm it, because that would result in possible Al Qaeda action they don't want.

This is just a guess on my part, but I have read things along those lines. This is a very complicated 5-dimentional chess game, if one could call it a game, except that this is deadly serious.

How can you trust anyone's intel when they 'spew' or say they are in the know? I don't get the stories in the news either on OBL sightings or our strategy of a spring OBL hunt. All this annnouncing is nonsense!
