Excellent journalism. I just hope that someone there at WSJ is familiar with forensic techniques to extract the "deleted" files. Even if the file is wiped and the FAT is scrambled, advanced magnetic and digital techniques exist to extract all of the files that people thought were erased.

Abu Bakr al-Albani That name means he's Albanian (although it might be a nom de guerre adopted by an Arab who has spent time in Albania, as they called Ali Mohamed "al-Amriki," "the American," because of the time he spent here.) So we should be on the lookout for Albanians scoping out bars and nightclubs outside bases.

They probably would have seen the encryption, figured there was no chance of breaking and threw the disks into the trash. You're nuts.

flight attendants reshuffled seating around him. Seated farthest away from the cockpit between two burly sky marshals. He should have been put in the baggage hold. For that matter, why did they allow him on the plane altogether?

Don't have time to read all of this now, but am bookmarking it for later. The only thing I'm worried about is WHY in the world did we deliberately fly him to Massachusetts? Won't he be standing trial in that God fosaken puke of a liberal state?

Since he is charged with a federal crime, the government can determine the venue anywhere within the U.S.

You're nuts. Sarcasm does make people look like nuts to those who have no sense of humor.

This part especially bugs me when I wait in line at the airport security checkpoint. Any time there is a delay and hundreds of people are waiting, I feel at risk for a you-know-what. I don't want to fly an airline flight if it's going to be like this.

After reading this, I think that life in a US prison is too good from Mr. Reid! After he is tried in the US we should deport him to either Egypt or Israel and let them try and execute him.

Thank God! And thanks to you for reminding me of something I should have realized.

The report of the target-spotting tour shows how members encoded their lives as well as their messages, wrapping even the mundane in subterfuge. It notes approvingly that Abdul Rauff took care to conceal his puritanical Islamic faith during a 10-day stay in the Netherlands.
At the hotel he would take empty alcohol bottles from the street and put them into trash containers in his room, it says. He scavenged cigarette butts from adjacent rooms and dumped them in his own ashtray. Sounds like he was worried about DNA tests.

You posted, "
How long before the aluminum-hat krew says he's a Mossad agent?"
As I read through your incredible thread about this poster boy for Islamic Terrorism, I had the same thoughts.
How long before the Arabic BS sites start posting that this creep is a MI6, Mossad, CIA agent hired by GW to make OBL to look bad.
I'm sure that the antiwar.commiers and rockertwellers.commers and Arabsneverhurtanyone.commiers will be posting that this poster boy for attempted terrorism is nothing but a MI6, Mossad, CIA agent hired by GW to make OBL to look bad.

2 possibilities;
1. He got 2 NEW British passports in a few days. This is impossible, lose a passport and it takes months to get a replacement - defaced, damaged etc., you will be interrogated and asked for letters from the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Virgin Mary.
2. British Secret Services were on to him and were watching, so he gets a passport, no problem.
British SS are either stupid or very clever.
