I was really only proceeding semi-logically, organizing the arguments for and against the two main paradigms. There are people who support the second idea, e.g. an American militia group teaming with al Qaeda to fight the "Zionist Occupation Government".
For what are Daschle and-or Leahy famous, or notorious? ... If this guess is right, it must concern something from before the WWW. All connexions recent enough to be on the Web have been scoured exhaustively by amateur sleuthers.
On both sides, people try to explain it using recent events. One proponent of the "liberal targets" theory said to me that Daschle and Leahy were being attacked by Rush Limbaugh and other talk-radio hosts throughout 2001, I guess after Republicans lost control of the Senate. On the other side, you've probably seen Ross Getman's arguments about the "Leahy Law" and its role in counterterrorism assistance to states like Egypt, and that law dates from 1997. And I don't think there's been critical analysis of either of those arguments, really.
With no success. It must not be a recent event.

I'll pass on this would-be theory.
