"That's my reasoning, but I may be all wet too....."

I don't recall AQ claiming responsability for the 9/11/01 hijackings for months afterwards. I personally believe that they have figured out that when governments CAN deny there was an attack/hijacking, they will, so the attacks have to be spectacular to for the involved government to concede it occured.

There was an egyptian air flight that the pilot suicided...could it have been terrorism?
There is considerable doubt about the flight tw800 investigation, and some about AA587.
If the shoe bomber on that transatlantic flight had been successful, would we ever have known it was terrorism?
Now two planes BLOW UP a few minutes apart, and we may actually be told it isn't terrorism. If so, expect the report of the hijack transponder code to quietly become an early error.

Yes. Even ur own government couldn't come up with a believable 'it was an accident' report for 9-11.

I guess we were both in the ball park in some fashion or another. You said terror, I said they needed to claim responsibility to be effective and we have both it appears.
