Shot In The Dark: Annie Jacobsen

September 22, 2005

Annie Jacobsen

Ever since Chad the Elder booked the Wacky Chickens for an appearance on the NARN State Fair broadcast - for a show he didn't attend, natch - I've been very careful about his bookings, examining them very closely for hidden pitfalls and traps.

Fortunately, his booking for Saturday's broadcast - Annie Jacobsen, author of Terror In The Skies: Why 9/11 Could Happen Again - seems like a good one.

Elder says:

I'm presently immersed in Annie Jacobsen's new book, Terror in the Skies: Why 9/11 Could Happen Again. You may recall that Jacobsen created quite a stir in the 'sphere last July with her account of a harrowing encounter with a band of Syrian musicians aboard Northwest Flight 327. The book recounts the events that Jacobsen witnessed unfold on the flight (backed up by other passengers), the follow up (or lack of) investigations of the affair by federal officials, and similar stories of suspicious in-flight activity submitted to Jacobsen by other travelers and airline employees.

This story has interested and scared me since I first heard it. It'll be a great hour.

Make sure you tune in, either by radio or on the web.

Hope to see you then.

Mitch,
What have you learned about the proposed Senate hearings to deal with the Able Danger issue? I tried to see what the Senate website had, but it seems they do not archive their hearings. I just wondered if it actually happened or, as some people have posted on their blogs, the Pentagon may have prevented the testimony of witnesses.

The Senate demanded an open hearing; the Pentagon refused to allow all but one witness (who knew nothing) to testify in order to protect sources.

Wow! I've only had time to watch half of the hearing (on the c-span site) and I am blown away. No wonder there's a rumor that Bush is drinking again. Rep. Weldon is a true patriot and he had better have the best security he can get.
