i was just interviewed by VOA -- i've done a bunch of writing on the shuttle over the years (got a pulitzer nomination for this in the miami herald) -- and was told that they're celebrating bigtime on al jezeera. made me want to vomit, but that was a feeling i first got when the clueless fox and friends crowd said the shuttle was "a minute overdue," lacking even the wits to realize that the shuttle does not circle the patch awaiting clearance.

anyway, they're having a happy time over in the land of the religion of peace.

celebrating bigtime on al jezeera. -

Sadley, I expected they would. This isn't just an American disaster, but a human disaster, and anyone who celebrates is a sub-human.

Great article...I will read in entirety later. It's touching since I've worked at NASA my entire career.

Whoever that one pilot of the small plane was, he had a warning about the shuttle after take off. He was willing to risk his life to give a warning about it. He had a warning something about the shuttle and an Israel pilot he wanted people to hear. That's all I remember about it.
IF this was terrorist linked, I really, really hope the US doesn't cover it up. The world needs to know.
If it were an accident, so be it. It's terribly sad either way.
