And what makes you think the French BEA chief spoke to these two Americans?

The CNN report
Air France crash pilots lost vital speed data, say investigators - CNN.com basically repeats the BEA report correctly, but the pilot journo Miles O'Brien reliably informs "You push down on the
wheel to gain air speed"- nuff said.
