Current ABC special: Post-911, where do we stand?

Well, the promo started with a bunch of lies--"al-Qaeda, bigger stronger, posing a bigger threat than ever...".

And Pete King is an idiot. Ammonium nitrate IS NOT the al-Qaeda's choice of explosives. In fact, I can't think of a single al-Qaeda bombing that used ammonium nitrate.

It was what they tried to use on the Millenium plot but got caught at the border with it. I'm guessing ABC won't mention that.

I thought I saw a trunkful of ammonium nitrate at the Canadian Border last night on TV during the first part of the movie. Beside the nitrate, they found detonators as well. That's why people were comparing the Millenium plot to Oklahoma City.

But the 93 WTC bomb did use fertilizer, Urea pellets, rather than ammonium nitrate.
