But flunkies refused for fear that US air control would force the 87-TD private jet down for an emergency landing by knocking out its satellite navigation systems.

Interesting that they could stop a flight this way. Will this be how future hijackings will be handled, if they aren't in sight of their target?

I guess these new pilots are lost without their whiz-bang electronics. Compasses are passe.

When asked what he was doing, he said that he saw a field mouse and wanted to play with it, but was unable to find it."

Why do the names "George" and "Lenny" come to mind?


How about Ben?

Yesterday on Fox the PR guy who had saved Jackson during the 1993 child abuse scandal said he wouldn't do it again in extremely definite terms - he made some amazing statements for a Public Relations man. In particular, he said that DNA tests should be done on those kids. Considering what he knows, he's liable to be on the witness stand for the prosecution soon.

He looked like he was doing the Moonwalk while sitting down ...

The laughs keep coming.

I'm not entirely sure they can. I suspect the pilots used this as an excuse for not participating in a felony.

Although an F14 or a pickup team waiting at the arrival airport are other obvious choices.

I just had another interesting thought.

The video shot by an employee that appeared on one of the cable channels had a secret room with hundreds of video tapes. Any thoughts as to what might be on those tapes?

Apparently Jacko has had almost a year to hide evidence, but who wants to bet a nervous employee swiped or copied a tape for his own personal insurance policy? Extortion and copping a plea are two obvious uses.

since they were party to his crimes....they ought to be going away too imo....

instead they would rather jump all over a mother who was trying to fulfill his son's last wish.....pathetic.

in his childhood the only friend he had was a rat named "Ben" and at 45 the only people who are surrounding him are "rats"
