Flying Carpet Airlines? “As Commander Queeg said in The Caine Mutiny, ‘I kid thee not,’” writes Robert Fisk in the Independent U.K. “It says ‘Flying Carpet’ on the little blue boarding cards, below the captain’s cabin and on the passenger headrest covers where the aircraft can be seen gliding through the sky on a high-pile carpet.” Fisk tried out the airline’s Beirut-to-Baghdad service last week. His full story can be found at truthout.org.
