And while I'm posting things I finally got a chance to read The Crash of EgyptAir 990. You may remember EgyptAir 990 as the plane that crashed into the ocean in October 1999. The only real cause so far seems to be that the reserve co-pilot intentionally crashed the plane. Unfortunately Egypt has stonewalled the investigation by refusing to accept this theory.
I thought of the question that had plagued me all along: not whether the Egyptians were right or wrong but whether they really believed their own words. Loeb had said to me, "Do they believe it? I believe they believe in fear."
Atlantic Monthly also has an interview with the author about how Egypt's attitude relates to their response to September 11th.
