Solovy and Dunkleberger say that some things in the movie are accurate. While there is no such thing as the graphite card, the Concierge Key card that the film's other veteran flyer, Alex Goran (Vera Farmiga), finds in Ryan Bingham's wallet actually does exist. In the film, Goran is impressed in a way that only aficianados can be: "I wasn't sure these actually existed," she says. American Airlines officials, as secretive as Freemasons in a Dan Brown novel, claim not to know much about it, except that one becomes a member by invitation only - because the airline...

The absence of the two men has caused negotiations to stall just as the insurgency's leaders are under the most pressure from their rank-and-file members to deliver...
There are also questions about how the nature of Beltrán Leyva's end will affect the drug war. Back in the 1980s and '90s, key Mexican kingpins were arrested peacefully by police officers. However, amid the militarization of the conflict under Calderón, the armed forces conduct most major detentions. In the operation to nab Beltrán Leyva, hundreds of marines swept on an apartment building in the spa city of Cuernavaca, an hour's drive from the capital. A two-hour battle ensued, involving grenades and mounted machine guns, before the drug lord, five...
