I agree that it was the ubl tape that was the go. And as you always say: they will attack somewhere at some time. I paraphrased.
I find the new rumor interesting, but I can hardly believe that Scheuer will say something that the jihadis are awaiting to hear as their go signal. It sounds too conspirational.
Do you plan to watch 60 minutes?
No, I don't watch that show.

"CIA Agent: Nuke Attack Surely Coming"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Former CIA agent Michael Scheuer told CBS “60 Minutes”’ Steve Kroft Sunday that the U.S. fumbled 10 chances to kill or capture terror chief Osama bin Laden before 9/11. Now he is convinced that the international outlaw will attack the U.S. homeland with some sort of nuclear weapon of mass destruction.
"Their intention is to end the war as soon as they can and to ratchet up the pain for the Americans until we get out of their region. ... If they acquire the weapon, they will use it, whether it's chemical, biological or some sort of nuclear weapon," said Scheuer.
In his first television interview without disguise, Scheuer appeared most aggravated by a missed opportunity to level a hunting camp where bin Laden was holding court with several Arab princes.
“If they were eating goat with bin Laden, you know they were up to nefarious purposes. What were a few less Arab princes when considering 3,000 dead Americans?”
At one point, the gung-ho agent was dismissed from the bin Laden project at the CIA that went by the code name “Alec.” He told Kroft that he was considered “too persistent” and constantly lobbied his superiors about their “unwillingness to take risks.”
But after 9/11 he was brought back aboard."
Did you, anyone watch it?
