"In the process, I ask him a question about which I have wondered. "Can you tell me how many American citizens have hijacked airplanes in the United States during the past 30 or 40 years?"
He stares blankly and says, "I dont know." I tell him I cant think of one, short of the legendary D. B. Cooper in the Pacific Northwest a half-century ago, but he parachuted into oblivion. "
Here you go. Now, do you suppose there was any sarcasm in his voice? I'd guess so, based on the tone of his article. In fact, there was a hijacking by an American, and it was the one most recent before 9/11. He was wrong, you see.
