  • The account quoted above is a second-hand forwarding of a report by Earl Wright, who was in attendance at a December 2009 presentation given by Lt. Col. John G. Cotter of the California Air National Guard to the Rotary Club in Clovis, California, about the EagleEyes program for teaching military personnel and civilians to recognize elements of potential terror planning when they see it. However, in reference to the above-reproduced report, Lt. Col. Cotter told us, That is my real name, and I am the Antiterrorism Officer at the 144th, but that's the end of the accuracy of Mr Wright's viral e-mail account: The Fresno Bee also reported that other attendees did not recall Lt. Col. Cotter's having made the remarks attributed to him: Lt. Col. Cotter was kind enough to send us a copy of his Eagle Eyes presentation, and it was indeed merely a general outline describing how citizens can help deter terrorism by recognizing and reporting pre-attack activities. It contained nothing about women in burqas buying up cell phones or ragheads probing the Air National Guard base in Fresno. (en)
