Not sure how sexed-up this is compared to reality, but thought it worthy enough to post. The Flight Watchmen http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/06/19/AR2008061902627_pf.html The mantra of these folks? "We cannot be wrong. We have to be right." While a well-meaning and emotional goal in light of a national tragedy, I fear this Policy of Constant Worry (tm) -- reminiscent of the flawed 'One Percent Doctrine' espoused by Dick Cheney -- creates more noise, fear, paranoia and overall trouble than it's worth, no matter HOW well-intentioned it may be. -rf ------------------------------------------- Archives: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/247/=now RSS Feed: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/247/ Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
