Wow, must have been one heckuva trip for that Wyoming college president down in Costa Rica. Must be some smoke there for them to have went to this much trouble to try and bury the story. Keep tuned....sure the order will be reverse based on long-standing legal precedent and we will find out if it was a "bimbo eruption" or a "Margaritaville situation"!

Book'em Dano! Not a cool move - the only question I'd have is jurisdiction when something like this happens on an international flight. Is it U.S. because the flight ended here and it was a U.S. carrier (Continental Airlines), or is it Hong Kong because the flight originated there? Might it be "where" the assault might have taken place during the course of the flight? An interesting international law case - but certainly, our thoughts go out to the woman for this horrible violation. May spur new regulations for those hours on an international overseas flight where the flight crew disappears from the cabin for the most part. Big settlement coming her way from Continental!
