#1 I saw a blurb on Drudge (not that it lends any credibility) that specific airlines are being targeted, nameley Aero Mexico and Air France. Hopefully we have some Christians In Action doing the Good WorkÂ© all over the place, and this will be (one of the many) times it pays off.

Pretty interesting if we know the details down to flight numbers, but I'm not ready to buy that one just yet.

#2 Here's my take.

I vote for Air France over Aero Mexico. The link explains my reasoning, but ask youself who'd you rather have at your back if you were going to retake the plane...

#3 Hugo better hope they don't take off out of Venezuela. That would be very bad news for Hugo...

#4 Going after planes yet again strikes me as too obvious. Hopefully we are considering the likliehood that these intercepts are designed to throw us off the trail of other ops.

#5 3 Air France flights from Paris to LA have been canceled per an ABC radio news report from 3 minutes ago. (Developing, as Drudge was say...)

#6 al-Reuters has picked up the story, too, but there is very little there so far.

#7 Agreed JAB. Misdirection, but let's hope they're that dumb.
