Interesting local media news, there's an article on IOL about how the CEO of the AA is threatening to blockade the highways over the fuel price hikes, which sounds very unlikely to me.
I can't find any mention of this anywhere else, it's not on the AA's own website, or in their press releases or blogs, but I seem to recall IOL having a history of completely fabricating bullshit stories from time to time. Only other places I've found this story are a small independent news blog (sole source: the IOL article), and MSN (syndicating the original article)
Also found a number of more reasonable sounding articles that sound similar but don't threaten to blockade roads, but those date back a full year, so aren't related.
So: Has anybody heard anything about this? Am I right about it being nonsense?
