>> Maybe it’s better not to yell out to the world that it was a terrorist attack. Why show our hands? Why not find out as much info as possible and make it seem like nothing will be done, .... The purpose of a terrorist attack is publicity. Screaming terrorism to the world is what they want. <<

Your suggestion sounds like what I suspect was the thinking the night of the TWA 800 disaster.

That would be before a disaster, this already happened. No reason to give them the publicity they want if it doesn’t look like it will help in any way. Everyone knows what this is, why make a giant deal about it being terrorism and give the terrorists a huge publicity victory. It’s almost always poor strategy to give your opponent what they want.

People should have been screaming before this happened there were way too many warning signs, that is the retarded part of this whole thing.
