LA Weekly is a scummy POS. Not that I'm opposed to, say, transsexual outcall services. What gets me more is all the ads for the "good life" LA style: plastic surgery, Diode Laser Hair Removal, Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation, etc. And, nearly everything is written from a HyperPC, trendoid, gay perspective.

But, they have printed, shall we say, Oliver Stone type stuff in the past, like an article about the RFK assassination that almost won a Pulitzer.

They've been around for a long time, it's not like they're a fly-by-night. I don't think they're going to willy-nilly make things up.

Scanning the article, it just looks like the reporter made a few phone calls and connected a few dots. It doesn't look there was extensive travel or legwork involved.

As far as the motel owner getting into conversations with people, c'mon, hasn't that ever happened to you? You meet an inquisitive shopowner who wants to know everything. Happens to me all the time, especially when you're dealing with the proprietor himself rather than with a flunky.

I can't say I ever found myself sauntering into a casual conversation with terrorists who happen to mention with brutal frankness their plans to go to "flight school".
