Two web links provide different glimpses
of the tragic airplane shoot down in the drug war over Peru last April.
One is the just released State Department report on the incident, posted
at http://www.state.gov/g/inl/rls/rpt/pir/index.cfm?docid=4397
online. The second link is to chilling video and audio footage from
inside the plane's cockpit as the tragedy unfolded -- http://video.ibsys.com/video.cfm?ID=901895&owner=cnn
