Interesting,but pretty much in line with some of the more outlandish material "revealed during interrogations".

The rascal may be speaking the truth-as he knows it. The al-Qaeda folks never had a shortage of brave-sounding-but-impractical schemes.Any time one of the schemes collapsed under the weight of its irrationality, the idiots behind it could shrug, and say : " It was the will of Al'lah (His name be blessed !)"

That's what the intelligence agencies thought about a 9-11 style attack in 1995 or 1996, when they were told -- at that time, I think it was called "boinka" attack, but had the same general idea of flying airplanes into buildings. They dismissed it because it was "impractical" -- UNTIL IT HAPPENED.

I have to wonder, though, if the 9/11 hijacking plot would have sounded just as stupid on 9/10. Or a man with a bomb in his shoe.
