There were six flights? I thought that they were all flown to a central place -- Tennessee comes to mind -- and then flown out of the company.

I will have to reread the article in Vanity Fair.

BTW, do you remember Richard Clarke saying HE personally approved that/those flight(s)?

Yes.

I'm back. When I was in the car I remembered that I wanted to make note of Roemer bringing up the flights.

I did hear today 6 flights. Mueller seemed aware and said names were checked and some people interviewed, IIRC.

I keep in mind that Joe Klein said on Matthews' Sunday morning show about a month ago that those flights WILL be a campaign issue, so I'm listening for any spin they attempt. Just as well to get it on the table and clear the air now to cut off as much spin as possible.

I'm still reeling from Kean thinking he was obliged to bring up Ashcroft's flying arrangements--again. When I think of all of the good and decent questions that should be asked if the stated purpose of this commission was actually being followed, well, it just shows what a farce this is.
