Deleted "alledgedly (sic) " —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.185.78.78 (talk) 20:52, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Olson was a passenger on American Airlines Flight 77 on her way to a taping of Politically Incorrect in Los Angeles, when it was allegedly flown into the Pentagon in the September 11, 2001 attacks.

[edit] Links updated

There is a tribute to Barbara Olson at http://www.angelfire.com/va2/kksposter

It's no longer accessible.

He's correct.

I'm getting an error message on that page.

However, I've taken the liberty of adding some memorial tributes to the "external links" section at the bottom of this article.

[edit] Telephone calls to husband

According to the released evidence from the U.S. District Court in Alexandria concerning the Moussaoui trial (see http://www.vaed.uscourts.gov/notablecases/moussaoui/exhibits/prosecution/flights/P200054.html ) the phone call to her husband was 0 minutes i.e. she got no connection.

• After planes crashed into the WTC 8:46 a.m the entire mobile phone network suffered mulfunctions because of the sheer volume of mobile phone calls being made at the same time so it is possible that the system was down and did not record the duration of the calls.

It's possible.

In any case, I don't believe that conspiracy theories relating to September 11th belong in this article-even if they focus specifically on Barbara Olson-although I suppose they could be added to the article related to 9/11 conspiracy theories.

I'm glad that someone deleted that.

Inserted "allegedly": "During the duration of the flight, she allegedly [3] called husband Theodore Olson who informed her of the crashes in New York." There is no definite evidence of this call; call records which should exist do not, there is no reason to believe that high call volumes would disable the call record system from recording anything, particularly just call durations, there is no evidence that this flight had airphone service, Ted Olsen's story changed repeatedly, tests of 2001-tech cell phones have consistently failed at lower altitudes and velocities. To fail to insert "allegedly" here disregards the balance of the evidence; to assert without qualification that the calls did or did not occur goes substantially beyond the available evidence. Anyone wishing to delete "allegedly" must come up with documentation clearly superior to the referenced article's references.Enon (talk) 03:37, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Memorial lectures

This section mentions the inaugural lecture given by her husband, Theodore Olson and a link to the content of the lecture is provided. This makes reference is made to the phone calls she is alleged to have made during the hijacking, but as mentioned above it now appears that these calls did not take place. Should this topic be included in the main article?
