Let me say that I have read, enjoyed and been impressed with the work of investigative journalist Daniel Hopsicker for years. He is one of the few I have seen that seems to be fearless to just tell it like it is.

While Mena, Arkansas was on his list for a while, his recent concentration has been on Venice Airport, most recently famous for training 9/11 pilots. Not giving up on building connections, he continues to uncover a lot of interesting things going back to the 1960s.

His latest piece is at http://www.madcowprod.com/04162010.htm and, to me, is required reading. Maybe there really are no connections to the things the article brings up but, well, I am not one who believes that.
