Yup. And it taught me that references to CNN URLs are useless, as CNN updates the stories. One has to save/quote the whole articles. (In the first version of that article there was no mention of Ameer's earlier death). | -----Original Message----- | From: Leigh Anne Chisholm [mailto:lachisho@tnc.com] | Sent: Friday, September 14, 2001 08:24 | To: Patrick W.

Neither | Bukhari brother (alive or dead) piloted the hijacked aircraft. | The article | says the mistake was made because their names were "tied to a car | left at an | airport in Portland, Maine". Adnan Bukhari's lawyer is saying that it | appears the brothers' identities were stolen and that Adnan had no role in | the hijackings. There is an apology from CNN on that link. The story | itself has been corrected, and an apology has been inserted into the text. | | It was an interesting mystery while it lasted... | | > -----Original Message----- | > From: owner-nanog@merit.edu [mailto:owner-nanog@merit.edu]On Behalf Of | > Patrick W.
