At some point, after 9-11 one of the arrogant terrorists said Atta contacted him via telephone of the plan using a code.
He said "Atta said, "Two sticks and a cake with a stick hanging down." This terrorist did not interpret the code however.
That code appears to carry two, maybe three messages. I interpreted it as: The two sticks are the towers and the first hit. The cake with the stick hanging down is the second hit,the Capitol building with the Capitol mall in front of and west of the building.
At the same time, Atta is revealing the date, 11-9 (European style). I also believe the time is in there as the hits occurred between 9 and 11.
So I believe that that brief code carried three messages.
I do thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
This link is to a thread about Atef's computer in 2002 and all the Zawahiri info and coded letters.
A birthday is also one of the codes in the opening article.
Calpernia opened the thread and we put a lot of info in it a year or so ago, but the codes are still good.
I do hope that you will post with us on a daily basis, I like the way your mind sorts things out.
Mine kinda throws it all in a box and then I have to dig for it......
