Thank you for your efforts Jon and to all the courageous guests.
Can you post a link here to the .MP3 download?
There was a similar incident last week when Rob B. of Pilots for 9/11 Truth was on Richard's "Clout" Air America show. Incidentally, I got a "bliss.army.mil" security certificate notice when I downloaded Rob's .MP3 from Air America radio- hmmmm...
EDIT: Was Ron Wieck the "opposition" again?
Tired...

Here's Lt. Col. Lankford's take on the show:

5-30-2008
The "Month of Truth" came to a close last night. It fell so far short of expectations that I think most who were aware of it and stuck with it to the last show of this month feel more than a little let down. The show prep seemed scattershot- and Rob saw why it was so, up close and personal. Rob put significant effort into setting up Show 3, only to see the most relevant information crowded into a tiny corner of the schedule while Ron Wieck blathered away and dissed the truth movement, and the schedule grew crowded with people who, while perhaps worthy of hearing - diluted the theme of the show.
Last night was no different. Lori Van Auken, John Judge, Kyle Hence (the last two were advertised as the headliners, but got very little time to contribute), with the opposition provided by a space cadet (term used advisedly) named Daniel Pinchbeck, who seemed disinterested in 9/11 and whose major theme was that if we investigate the thugs who pulled it off we will just make them angry and we won't do anything to stop global warming or convince the aliens that we really are an intelligent species. The perpetual Ron Wieck was on hand to provide his own special brand of dripping sarcasm and fact-free criticism in between plugs for Ryan Mackey and assertions on how his buddy Mackey could whip up on anyone the Truth movement cares to trot out.
There was a bit of mixed message throughout - encouragement to log in and show interest and then poorly produced shows (needlessly so) and even the blog was missing last night and this morning.
Richard, in today's blog, still claims to be trying to advance the cause of Truth, bravely, in the face of grudging opposition by AA management. I have no insight into that. But I will say unequivocally that based on his performance during this month, if he is on our side - he is so incompetent as to be of little value. I hate to make that statement, but if I wanted to discourage the Truth movement leaders, I might treat them as Rob and Craig were treated, and the listeners the way Clout treated them.
If you have a chance, and heard any of the shows, please visit the Clout website and share any thoughts you have. Who knows, someone may be listening.

When I asked his permission to post the above, he replied:
Knock yourself out. I plan to write a personal letter to Richard after I have had time to reflect a little. His performance on the preparation for and presentation of those 5 shows was so erratic and spotty as to bring into question his competence for the job. Either that or he is way too distracted with other activities or pursuits to pay proper attention to it. I believed his heart to be in the right place, and have no direct visibility into his relationship with AA. Jon's personal experience in promoting the show, and his feelings as a result, seem to be a recurring theme. By all means introduce me to Jon and provide contact information, which I will provide by PM.
Thanks,
SFL
