All I am going to do here is present the transcript of the Ong-Gonzalez-Marquis call in its entirety (with the bits MISSING from the 4 minute version in RED borders) and then the 4 minute version itself as produced by the government.
This 4 minute version is totally misleading and leaves the listener with the impression that the passengers seated in 2A, 2B and 10B are the "hijackers" inside the cockpit with the pilots, when in fact that is NOT what Ong said.

Now the 4 minute version of the Ong-Gonzalez-Marquis recorded call as presented by the government. (In this video, it is preceded by the 4 minutes of the Ong call with Minter and Saddler). Have a listen after 04:20.
At the start of their conversation Ong indeed tells Gonzalez that the passengers seated in 2A and 2B are inside the cockpit with the pilots. At the 14:00 minute mark though (8:20+14:00=8:34 according to the transcript, add to that a couple of minutes if we go by the official time Ong placed her call as exhibited in the Moussaoui trial), when she gets hold of an onboard seating chart (flight attendants do not know passenger names by heart) and together with the flight attendant providing her with information of the goings on at the front of the plane start giving out names, her story changes. It now is passenger Satam Al Suqami seated in 10B who is inside the cockpit, NOT 2A and B are previously mentioned (Gonzalez mistakenly says 9A and B). Ong then goes on to say that she has "NO IDEA" who the second passenger in the cockpit might be.
This 4 minute version is in essence a compilation of carefully selected excerpts from the Ong-Gonzalez-Marquis conversation which was recorded in its entirety.
One would ask then, why the 4 minutes? Why not create a 5 or a 6 or a 10 minute version? An educated guess would suggest that this was done to lend credibility and validity to the only 4 minutes that were SAID to have been recorded of the initial Ong call with Vanessa Minter and Winston Saddler.
