Well, for one thing, everyone from Homeland Security on down is acting shocked and surprised by the precisely detail recon AQ has on our buildings, etc. Like HELLO, on FR we've been documenting dozens and dozens of cases of this actual recon taking place for the last couple years, and now the LEOs are supposed to be surprised that AQ has this recon data? Well, IMHO, that is something strange. Did they think all this stuff was going into home movies for the relatives back home?
They are not really surprised. They are more likely uncomfortable that things have reached the level where they had to come clean with the public. They know the casing has been going on; and they have speculated before about what sites were being surveyed before 911. What is different this time is that they have enough info to have been forced to admit it publically. They also have more info than they are saying.
