Remember, C2C is "entertainment", and A.B. was a master. Though some information is very valuable, Art was adept at cutting calls, and several times, having the network "go down" for dramatic effect IMHO.
A listener since KDWN days.

I think he could of been "freaking out and crying" due to the ramifciations of what he was saying on air. i don't think the what he knew freaked him out as much as the professional cleaners and area 51 security did.

But again, military training. I don't know to many marines that cry. If he was serious enough that he felt this knowledge had to be public, even at the cost of his own life, he was a man on a mission, prepared for the worst, not a little kid about to tell his parents that he was the one who actually broke the antique vase with a ball.
If I had information so pertinent that I was going to risk my life to issue it on the air, that it would save the world, you would bet I would have something written out, been prepared to say it and say it fast, and was strong enough in my beliefs to do so. And not snivel out a partial comment.

Lets assume the caller and the info provided was genuine. Obviously if he was military, he certainly wasn't a warrior, he most likely would have been an intel weenie who isn't exactly used to the idea of highly trained men hunting him.
I served 6 years in the U.S. Army and have seen combat, and if I knew a group of highly trained U.S military SF guys were chasing me I would be concerned too. Not crying or sniveling, but the idea would most definitely still be floating around in my head.
This is the thing though. A man who has access to this information would be used to this and desensitized to it. He wouldn't be freaking out and crying
