Man denies being hijacker

STOCKTON, Calif. (AP) — Robert Wesley Rackstraw, the jailed former Green Beret who was questioned about the fabled D. B. Cooper skyjacking, says he is not Cooper. "You want me to say I'm not D. B. Cooper? Okay. I'm not D. B. Cooper," Rackstraw told the Stockton Record in a copyright interview from the San Joaquin County jail. That answer was tongue-in-cheek, but later in the interview he repeated that he was not Cooper and that any doubt would be removed when he goes on trial on a variety of charges. Rackstraw last year was questioned about the skyjacking, but the FBI said this week that he is no longer a suspect.
