I've read those reports too. My guess, and it's just the guess of a soccer mom who happened to live in the middle east back in the 80's and who reads voraciously, is that the Bush administration figured out pretty darned quick who was behind the 9/11 attacks.

Remember how the Unabomber was caught? His brother recognized his writing. In my opinion, it's not out of the realm of possibility that one of the Bin Laden family members had one of those "Oh sh** look what Osama's done THIS time" moments and called his government, who called our government.

My guess is our government may have been somewhat concerned about retaliation against the Bin Laden families (remember, in those first hours and days no one knew what was going to happen next) but more than likely they were already placing markers to be called in. In other words, perhaps they were doing a favor here and there for the Saudi's in hopes that the Saudi's would owe them one.

Now remember - that's just me, a soccer mom computer geek. I don't have any inside knowledge. I'm not a spook, never have been, never gonna be.

Well I would say you are a rather observant soccer Mom :-) "Oh sh** look what Osama's done THIS time" LOL! I guess I just have a sick sense of humor but that struck me as really funny. Wouldn't you hate to be his sibling and turn on the tv the morning of 9/11 and think "oh great, he's at it again".

they were already placing markers to be called in. In other words, perhaps they were doing a favor here and there for the Saudis in hopes that the Saudis would owe them one. Good assessment. I hadn't thought of it that way. Thanks.

"Now remember - that's just me, a soccer mom computer geek."

.... obviously with a lot of common sense and good deductional ability. :)

I think your assessment of the situation with the Bin Laden family is probably close to what actually happened
