Charles Johnson Called It Right

From Little Green Footballs, July 15, 2004, “Terror in the Skies, Again? [1]:”
:

At Womens Wall Street, a highly disturbing must-read (and I stress, must-read) article for anyone who flies often, by Annie Jacobsen: Terror in the Skies, Again? [2] (Hat tip: Instapundit [3].)

Jacobsen recounts a white-knuckle flight from Detroit to Los Angeles, that she and her husband shared with a group of about 15 Middle Eastern men (they turned out to be Syrians) who were almost certainly (judging from her description) conducting a dry run for a repeat of September 11, with teams of hijackers prepared for passenger resistance.

Charles, yesterday [4]:

Three years after Annie Jacobsen wrote her article [1] about the terrorist “dry run” she observed on a Northwest Airlines flight, the Department of Homeland Security has released new information that confirms our worst suspicions—not only about terrorist plans for another 9/11, but about DHS’s amazing incompetence, because the incident was not even filed with them until four days later: More details on Flight 327 released [5].

Note to democrats, it is not  just a bumper sticker.
