[edit] Alben Truitt
Do you have a source for the statement (which you added to List of Cuba-US aircraft hijackings)that Alben Truitt was/is Alben Barkley's grandson? That's potentially defamatory, so if Wikipedia says it, it is important that there be a source cited in the article.--orlady 14:44, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
Yep, the source is http://openweb.tvnews.vanderbilt.edu/1969-2/1969-02-10-CBS-7.html. Circumspect 22:59, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
I was living in the 1960's, and I recall contemporary news accounts, stating that Barkley's grandson had hijacked an airplane to Cuba. It was well reported at the time. John Paul Parks (talk) 12:11, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
