Weird Astronaut story second story on NBC NEWS with Brian Williams.

You realized that this story would get big coverage.

[Hosnon]

1. Has any other astronaut been charged with such a crime?

If not, I can see why it is a big story.

[LisaM]

2. Astronauts are vetted about as thoroughly as anyone could be

I think the story might be that this woman fell between the cracks, if she's a potential murderer.

5. Wonder if she was given any experimental drugs like Lariam. Probably not

but the Special Forces guys in Iraq were made to take a new anti-malarial called Lariam and some came home and went crazy.

Special Forces guys, by definition, do not go crazy.

It was the drug.

3. Yesterday it was FIRE

Every time I turned it to CNN/MSNBC/FOX something was on fire. A auto part store in Miami. A warehouse in Los Angeles. This story would have everything they love to cover except its missing something LIVE. When I first say this I thought OMG guess what is going to be on for the next few days.

One good thing, the ghouls won't have time to cover the graphic details of the charges that were filled against the kidnapper in the Hornbeck case. Those boys have gone thru enough without having every detail made public. I think this story should tastefully go away with one last story about sentencing.

7. She looks and acts like she is strung out like a 'tweaker'.

How many careers has she ruined with this stunt?

[kestrel91316]

10. Yep. My tweaker radar went off BIGTIME when I saw her pic,

compared to her NASA portrait.

Either a psychotic break, or drugs, or just a character flaw that got overlooked in screening...................

What a sad mess for her family.

8. CNN/Situation Room went on & on about this case this afternoon.

Holy fucking crap.

It would have been nice if they would have spent an entire afternoon giving the history & meaning of habeas corpus, wouldn't it? Or maybe some of the more odious provisions of the patriot act.

:grr:

[Cobalt Violet]

9. Of course, it involves Adult Diapers.

That's sexy to the M$M.

11. This is what I can't get my head around

Astronaut +
Navy Captain +
Test Pilot (flown over 30 different types) +
Wife +
Mother of three
