Wasn't it that the controller said "cleared to" which meant AA would follow the route that safely would have taken them around mountains, but AA read it back as 'cleard direct" to a fix which from their current position would fly them right into a mountain which is what happened? Shouldn't the controller have picked up on the readback?
