--- Using the net to track down mercenary fighters in Iraq Kathryn
Cramer has been posting a lot of really good, solid investigative
material about the ongoign use of mercenrary fighters in Iraq, googling
the tail-numbers of aircraft and generally net-researching the hell out
of the shadowy world of soldiers-for-hire in a US-led battlefield.

This is what Internet investigative journalism is all about:

Another question for the next White House Press conference: Did flight
N4610 depart the U.S. from Hope Air Force Base in North Carolina?

If it did, you have a real conspiracy story to break! Imagine, a whole Air
Force base hidden away in North Carolina with no previous indication of its
existance. Ms. Kramer needs to stick to reporting the moon phase, etc.

ONE MINOR FUSSY POINT: If you've been following my attempts to track
down all the Boeing C-22Bs, you know that I have had a little bit of a
hard time tracking down exactly how many there were. I thought I'd cut
it down to four, but this photo of a C-22B, on the web site of the U. S.
Air Force, clearly shows a plane with a number just beyond the sequence
I was researching: the 34618 indicates a serial number 83-4618
associated with an original tail number N4618. Interesting.
