Remember, some of the hijackers apparently had no clue they were on a suicide mission

so they say. still, would letting them out on bail have been wise?

Hmm.

Not then. Simply because we didn't know what we know now. However, if we had let them out then, had a good idea of what they were up to and wanted to smoke out others (who may still be here incidentally)...Yes.

I think it is all about what we know. We know a LOT more now—no matter what the press says.

Just because the press is in the dark, doesn't mean the people that need to know are. I remember a line from a way back President Bush speech. Essentially it was, and I am paraphrasing, that this war would be fought on many many levels, some seen but most unseen.

I have never forgotten that line. The surface of the water is calm, but underneath it is very turbulent.
