Reports: Iran-Bound Passenger Jet Crashes in Kyrgyzstan
« on: August 24, 2008, 12:34:30 PM »
MOSCOW —  DEVELOPING: A Boeing passenger jet crashed Sunday while taking off from the airport in Kyrgyzstan's capital, Bishkek, Russian news agencies reported.

However, an official at the airport characterized the accident as an emergency landing. The official, who said she had no information about casualties, spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because she was not authorized to give her name to the media.

The Interfax news agency quoted an unidentified airport official as saying the plane went down near the airport and that there were casualties. Interfax said the plane was a Boeing-737 with more than 100 people aboard.

The RIA-Novosti news agency quoted an unidentified spokesman at a U.S. air base at Bishkek's Manas airport as saying a passenger plane crashed near a village close to the airport shortly after takeoff. Officials at the U.S. base could not immediately be reached for comment.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

I hope it was jam-packed with Quds Force leaders returning from vacation.

Ya know, it really sucks (for them) when you can't train your terrorist hijackers out in the open anymore.  This is the kind of shit that happens when they have no experience in selecting targets to crash into for the greatest political/economic/terror value.

Iran should be filing protests with the UN an' shit.
