Jim, <now they have found the flight training school where a couple of them trained...in Venice, Florida...only in America...> I don't get your point. How many Boeing jets are flown all around the world? Any terrorist can obtain flight training manuals in any language from anywhere in the world. Tenchusatsu

> only in America... I find it seriously hard to believe that there have not been people elsewhere who were educated in the same nation they later rebelled against. Weren't some of the United States' Founding Fathers educated in parts of the British Empire?       -JC

now they have found the flight training school where a couple of them trained...in Venice, Florida...only in America... Of course, it was intentional in order to shove our faces in it; however, I don't understand what you mean by "only in America". Did we somehow fail some unknown national test because we didn't do an extensive background check for someone who wanted to learn how to fly a Cessna aircraft? Are we supposed to do background checks on anyone of Irish, Palestinian, Columbian, Pakastani, Iraqi, Irani, Nicaraguan, Afghani et al background because there have been people with those nationalities who have performed acts of terrorism... and because they want to study physics or learn how to jet ski? I am first to admit that this country is imperfect but lets not hold it to a standard that only a god could live up to. The only good news out of this is that the 50k for flying lessons is gone and they don't have the two pilots to show for it. ted
