[edit] Detroit Sleeper Cell

The base figured crucially in the Detroit Sleeper Cell case, and the narrator in a This American Life piece (clearly ignorant of the Turkish language) repeatedly mispronounced "Incirlik", whose C is supposed to sound like a J, as documented in Incirlik. I'm glad journalists find WP a useful tool, but it's a shame if a pro made a bit of a fool of herself by checking only this article (where i just added the information), and relied on the unreferenced information. (Huh. Sounds like at least one of her sources also mispronounced it.)
