Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Tuesday, January 01, 2008

The FBI is making a new stab at identifying mysterious skyjacker Dan Cooper, who bailed out of an airliner in 1971 and vanished, releasing new details that it hopes will jog someone's memory. The man calling himself Dan Cooper, also known as D.B. Cooper, boarded a Northwest flight in Portland for a flight to Seattle on the night of Nov, 24, 1971, and commandeered the plane, claiming he had dynamite.

Where's Osama?



Where's Osama?

POSTED BY SANCHO



Osama?

Not Important.
-Bush


But DB Copper now that name has Buffalo Bob written all over it!

Where's Osama?

You have to be patient. The FBI is waiting for Chimpus Minimus to smoke him out before they can make the grab.

FYI - the FBI operates in the United States - guess you are unaware that it's the CIA which operates outside our borders.

Though, I do feel the FBI should be focusing all their attention on the present, not the distant past.

Hey, MSGT -- haven't seen you around for awhile. Happy New Year 2008 to you and your family!

Where's Osama?

Haven't you heard? He's dead. Bush just forgot to pass the word along to us.



FYI - the FBI operates in the United States - guess you are unaware

Well no the FBI works globally, but thanks for playing..

CALIFCHRIS - Thank you and the same to you and yours.

This happened over 35 years ago. Isn't there a statute of limitations in play on this crime?
Why, with all the major crime players out running around now, is our FBI wasting time on some 35 year old hijacking that only got $200,000 for ol' DB? $200,000 -- mere chickenfeed by today's crime standards.

DB is most likely dead. Maybe that is why they are going after him?
Bin Laden is most likely dead, maybe they will go after him now?

You are right Chris, the statue of limitations has expired, on the skyjacking charge. There is no statue of limitaions for tax evasion, which is the only thing they would be able to try him for. (That is of course if he didn't DIE the night he jumped from the plane!)

D.B Cooper was rumored in 1971 to be an air traffic controller employed by the FAA. Seems like that info was esily available. Why the interest now? Glad to see that some remember Buffalo Bob and supporting cast Mr. Bluster, Princess Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring on the Howdy Doody Show

seems to me the fbi cannot find their own behind with both hands - why this? why now?

Osama is living on a ranch in Crawford Texas.

Huh?

Hell, they can't even find Osama.

It has been rumored that the FBI is going to take another crack at the anthrax killer sometime in 2038.

They've already checked the Louisiana whore houses...

I believe you are mistaken....

I'm sure finding DB Cooper would be a very cool personal accoplishment for any FBI agents heavily involved in solving a 36 year old case.

But other than that, what is the point? I guess the FBI feels it has organized crime, identity theft, terrorism, internet crimes, etc etc etc completely defeated. Why else would it spend resources on this?

Maybe just CYA, in case they get blindsided by another terror attack. "Oh we were really tied up with that whole D.B. Cooper thing, you know..."

What a waste of time/money. The guy is probably dead and they found the money he stole in the water.

The FBI has more important things to do, like I dunno, translate that backlog of terrorist tapes perhaps?

Well no the FBI works globally, but thanks for playing..

Only if they are invited by another government for help.

Alexandrite is right what a huge waste of time and money.

Open letter to the FBI how about spending time looking for Osama!! If not how about investigating this fucking Administration...DB Cooper are you fucking kidding me!!!!

Once again you are wrong.

FBI renews hunt fer DB Cooper?

Don't they have a ten most wanted list?

Did they finish it already or something?

Maybe they just want to get crackin' on the investigation before his bones moulder away to nothingness.

Wot next?

Are they gonna release a cold case squad on the Lindbergh baby?

Howsabout looking fer
THIS GUY?!

Yeah, he's prolly dead too but it would bring a sense of much needed closure to a freakin' continent!!!

Sheesh!

Be Well.

Can we say Orwell?????

Obviously we are all on the same page here.

OBL has been dead since 2002 folks - can't waterboard a stiff.

Unmasking D.B. Cooper
On a rainy night in 1971, the notorious skyjacker jumped out of a 727 and into American legend. But recently, a chance lead to a Manhattan P.I. may have finally cracked the case.

The FBI have known the identity of Cooper forever. Coast2Coast AM has discussed this recently, and from the amount of evidence and tipoffs the feds remain strangely inactive. Why they have not acted is still in debate. Meanwhile, the rest of the planet goes to hell, but thank GOODNESS our Federal investigative bodies are spending their time and our tax money effectively.

What a WORTHLESS case.
