Nutbag Annie Flies Again

Whackjob Annie Jacobson and her series, Pope John Paul Terror in The Skies XIII, are back with an unbalanced vengeance.

According to the dimwit Jacobsen, the DHS agents who interviewed her were complete blabbermouths, telling her everything she needed to confirm her suspicions:

They continued to ask my husband and me question after question but, in the course of the morning, here are some additional details I gathered -- things that I didn't otherwise know:

-- The Northwest Airlines flight attendants interviewed for the investigation would only speak to federal agents with lawyers from the airline present. (One agent remarked to me, "Northwest Airlines wishes flight 327 never happened.")

-- There were 27 airports between Detroit and Los Angeles where the pilot could have landed flight 327 yet didn't.

-- Because the men were from Syria -- which the State Department lists as a terrorist-sponsoring nation -- each man was interviewed individually by Customs and Border Patrol when he entered the country. Once in the United States, they traveled back and forth across the country several times using one-way tickets, for which they paid cash.

-- Two months prior to the flight, the FBI issued a warning that, based on credible information, terrorist organizations might try to hide their members behind P visas --cultural or sports visas -- to gain entry into the United States.

-- The Syrians entered the United States on P-3 cultural visas, which they overstayed; the visas had expired by the time they boarded flight 327.

-- While being interviewed at Los Angeles Airport (LAX), none of the federal law enforcement agencies involved noticed that the men's visas were expired.

-- At LAX, the FBI interviewed only the two "leaders" of the group; 11 of the Syrians on flight 327 were never asked a single question by law enforcement.

-- The Syrians were allowed to leave even before the FBI interviewed me and my husband.

-- The Federal Air Marshal (FAM) supervisor at LAX took statements from my husband and me on the back of an envelope, later borrowing a notepad from another FAM.

-- Another passenger from flight 327 indicated to the agents that he did not see any musical instruments in the baggage claim area, including the oversized baggage area.

Amazing, isn't it. Super-observant Annie was interviewed by a Federal Air Marshal who was writing on the back of an envelope, yet she didn't know that 'til the FBI told her.

Earlier in the article, Nutbag Annie claimed "[n]aturally, the agents 'were not at liberty' to tell me anything about the 13 Syrian men aboard flight 327." But then she claimed that the agents told her how the men entered the country, what visas they had, when the visas expired and whether the men were interviewed at LAX. So which is it?

Finally, Annie claims the DHS agents revealed to her that the men had expired visas, and that none of the federal agencies involved at LAX after the flight were aware of that. Apparently, Annie forget that she knew this back in July 2004. Annie also apparently forgot -- or didn't care to mention -- the fact that "[t]he expiry date indicates the date after which that visa may no longer be used to travel to the U.S" and thus is irrelevant to whether the men were in the country legally and traveling legally.

Not very detail oriented, our Annie.
