Notice the time period that 99% of the article refers to: the 1970s. Like I said, the rules changed drastically in 1991--mostly because there were no rules anymore.

If you insist on looking at Russia as the source of terrorism in this Year of Our Lord 2004, you're going to get very thoroughly surprised.

Poohbah,

Someone once told me, "you don't debate liars, you expose them." Given your total commitment to debunk any possibility of continuity between the time of the Cold War and the present, I'm getting dangerously close to putting you into the very category my friend warned me about. If you want to debate the merits of the piece, then do so with a desire to get at the truth. Sweeping and condescending statements only cause me to doubt your credibility.

BTW POOH-bah,

Your assertion that 99% of the report deals with the 1970s is pure BS. You obviously conducted a cursory review to get the flavor of the piece, and then unleashed a barrage of (rehearsed) inuendo. No conservative worth his salt behaves in this way. Perhaps you should go back to the sandbox from which you came.

It is hard to think of OBL being KGB directed. I think that he is more of a lone wolf operator. That said, I also think that there is much truth in this theory. One need only look at South America (our "fire next time) to see it in action.
