Just saw on FNC–a British passenger jet has landed in Italy, with a suspected bomb on board. Could be nothing, could be something. We’ll keep you posted.
Update: The plane was en route from Gatwick airport in the UK to Egypt. It made an emergency stop in Italy and has apparently landed safely. No word yet on the suspected bomb.
More detail here, including the fact that an Italian F-16 escorted the plane to the ground.
Update: It all started with a note on a sick-bag.

And now we return you to our regularly scheduled program – All about the Jon Benet Ramsey murder case!!Jesus!!

It’s a Rovian play to divert attention from the JonBenet case.

That JonBenet murder suspect wacko bears a startling resemblance to Norman Bates. Oh, and I think he is so WACKO that he didn’t commit the murder. He just wants the fame of folks thinking he did the murder. That’s how WACKO he is.

Wait I thought the JonBenet case was a Rovian plot to kill Lamont’s Nedrenaline boost.

Wacko like a fox. He probably fessed up to JonBenet to avoid dealing with the Thai “health inspector” in less than sanitary conditions.

Can’t you stupid neocons see? This is partly just a distraction from Iraq orchestrated by Rove/Bush, it’s partly to bring Bush’s poll numbers up and help the GOP in November, and it’s partly to test us for upcoming attack Bush launches on America that Alex Jones and the rest have given us fair warning about. Once Bush does that, he’ll have an excuse to take away all of our civil liberties! Don’t be fooled! Bush controls EVERYTHING!

Isnt this post about the BOMB on an airplane? Fear in the air.
Hope we dont wear out the watchfulness too quickly if this is false alarm. Terrorists will continue to try to kill us.

You know, Kid from Brooklyn, I had that same thought. Maybe he fessed to the murder so they’d extradite him to the states; he gets ruled out for the murder here, does Thailand get him back? Doesn’t matter if he did it or not…this guy is a dirtbag whether he was involved with JonBenet or not. What was it Russell Crowe said in L.A Confidential? ‘You know what they do to kiddie rapers in prison, don’t you?’ Here’s to that guy ending up in prison in Thailand..at least he won’t have cable tv..while he’s still walking.

BBC reports;
Get hand-writing experts to review check signatures from people on this and previous flight.

I wouldn’t put this past terrorist colaborators (Democrats) to keep causing all these false alarms or stirring up problems to where pressure or a “Boy who Cried Wolf” attitude sets in…leaving the planes vulnerable to the terrorist.
We know Democrats want to bring President Bush Down…and they don’t mind if a few thousand people die, or America is Destroyed to accomplish it.. That is how Mentally Unstable and Unreasonable, Liberals are…

pjcomix, he also looks like Gray Davis, before he turned grey.
RightWinged, did you talk with A. Sullivan today? :)
havoc, I have a hard time believing that they’d be that evil. Also, we should leave the conspiracy theories to them. It’s better for us that way.

Entelechy, Havok isn’t too wrong there. Remember how the liberals wanted to keep peace officers tied up with false alarms when the Republican National Convention was in NY? While I don’t think they would kill innocents on purpose, I’m damn sure their stunts would get someone killed eventually.
