so . . . is Katherine Harries dead or not? . . .
http://www.tomflocco.com/florida_rep.htm

WASHINGTON, July 7, 2003 (TomFlocco.com) -- According to a source who refused to be named in this story, Florida Congresswoman Katherine Harris (R-FL) died this morning in a light plane crash in foggy conditions near Toronto’s island airport around 10:00 AM.

The Toronto Islands are located on Lake Ontario, adjacent to Canada’s mainland.

Reports and sources are as yet unable to confirm why the Florida congresswoman and former Secretary of State during Florida’s 2000 presidential election controversy had flown from Chicago to Toronto; however, the source also said that Governor Jeb Bush was reportedly at the accident scene shortly after the crash.

Our internet search confirmed that there was a crash this morning in the Toronto Islands at about 9:57 AM, and that there is currently a search and recovery effort being conducted, according to a Toronto Globe and Mail report at 4:51 this afternoon. However, we also confirmed that there was activity in Harris’ Washington, DC congressional office at least until midnight tonight -- on the Monday of a long Fourth of July holiday weekend when Congress in not even in session.

The doomed plane was a small, private Beechcraft piloted by an unidentified American, according to Constable Mike Hayles of the Toronto Marine Unit, speaking at a press conference this afternoon. Hayles said the police received a call at 10:06 AM, reporting the crash, but was unable to confirm how many others were on board the plane which holds seven people, including a pilot and six passengers.

Interestingly, the Globe and Mail said Hayles added that “American regulations are different from those in Canada and the United States does not require information on all passengers of a plane.”

According to reports, Canadian Hercules aircraft, two Labrador helicopters, and some 50 police officers and 10 police boats are conducting a water search for the missing plane, while also using an underwater robotic probe that reaches a 16 meter depth.

9. Is anyone implying a "tryst" might have been scheduled with Jeb????
Seems odd that Floco would put this out with so little evidence.

17. It looks as if...
... Flocco has disobeyed one of the central tenets of journalism--independent verification of a single source. Running with one source only, and one which demands anonymity, comes right back to the journalist.

Flocco hasn't changed the story on his site, either. Maybe _he's_ sure, but there's no update that he called her office again today.

19. The reports that she is dead are retracted. That makes her undead
I've suspected as much.
