James Woods

On the O'Reilly Factor tonight actor James Woods revealed details of his August experience on board a westbound transcontinental flight -- including his conclusion that the men he saw were the actual terrorists involved in the 9/11 massacres.
Contrary to previous reports he did not report his experience to the FBI prior to 9/11.. He did, however, express his concerns about the four Middle Easterners to the pilot during the flight. He has since learned that the pilot then notified the FAA. Basically, he told the pilot that the men were acting like hijackers.
On 9/11 Woods called the FBI. The next day he was awakened early in the morning by a call from an FBI agent who asked to meet him. Woods offered to come to the FBI office and was told "No problem. We're in a car outside your house."
Woods made it clear in his interview -- and this greatly impressed O'Reilly -- that based on things the FBI said and his examination of published photographs, the men on his flight were all 9/11 'martyrs'. For one thing when he asked the agent if they had compared the manifest of his flight with the ID's of the terrorists the agent said they had received tens of thousands of calls since 9/11 but they were spending four hours with him ... in other words, "Draw your own conclusions, Mr. Woods".
He also said that the idea that none of the terrorists knew about each other was wrong since the men he saw died on different 911 flights.
He avoided answering some of O'Reilly's questions indicating he expected to be called as a witness in the Moussarri (?) trial.
Woods deserves a great deal of credit for his 'heads up' behavior and for his cooperation with the FBI.
Good to know. Our 12-year-old has set his sights on MIT, though we're encouraging him to consider it more as a graduate school choice. He's a budding engineer in all respects.
That's sure not the guy I saw on Letterman (admittedly after 9/11). He admitted to probably being the only guy in Hollywood who'd voted for Bush and had nothing but praise for him. If he was such a Clinton backer, why would he admit to voting for Bush?
Not that your comments apply to this post, since he explained how he was composing for 15 minutes, but you are so right! I never post articles. If I see a story worth posting, I come here and do 2 or 3 key word searches. So far, the story has always already been here.
About a week after Sept 11 news reports were released that the terrorist had been buying large blocks of seats to lower the number of passagers on the flights to make them more manageable during the hijackings.
I can't imagine that the airlines couldn't put two and two together with large block of seats being cancelled by MEs.
American Airlines: Amercian Airlines,Good morning how can I help you.
Mr. Terrorist: (w/ thick accent) Yes I would like to cancel my reservations.
AA : What is your flight and how many seats.
MT: Flight 333, we had 240 seats.
AA: 240 seats!, You are going to cancel all of the seats?
MT : Yes, my family has come down with the flu.
AA: That will be find sir. We will credit your VISA card. Thank you for flying with AA.
Is it HIS movie or is he simply an actor in it?
Even a broken watch is right twice a day.
So Republicans are like Nazis then.
I "taped" it to my hard drive with the PC-PVR software that came with the TV-Tuner card in my home theater PC. 4Gigs of MPEG files for an hour of The Factor. I just watched it, it was great. The gist of the interview from what people have posted is spot-on.
Just to learn some video editing, I may try and edit out just the Woods interview, and then try to crunch it down to a reasonable file size (which would still probably be 15 or 20 megs). If I do this, does anyone know where I could post a big mpeg so people could download it for a while?
Mea culpa.
What I meant was, even lmoderates can occasionally be on the right side of a topic.
