Haven't seen it. But it makes sense that they would be leaving messages at all the scenes. Why only leave one?

I'm also thinking they could be trying to get Rahman out. Since the feds busted up the Lynn Stewart/Satter/Yousry conduit, he probably hasn't been able to get any messages out. I suppose they could even be asking for both. Looks to me like we may have made a serious dent in their leadership.

The bad news is, if I'm right, we may be giving in to their demands.

"we may be giving in to their demands."

What else is new?

Wouldn't the proper response be to execute Rahman? Is there no way to try him for participating in a conspiracy to commit these sniper murders (presumably a capital charge)?

I wish that, in the future, when we sentence these guys to prison sentences, we include a suspended death sentence that gets unsuspended if anybody tries to spring them.

We don't know that he hasn't left other messages that have not been reported.

9/11 happened the day before the defendants in the embassy bombing trial were due to be sentenced in federal court in Lower Manhattan (six blocks from the WTC). I think I've read a report some place -- I think it may have been in one of Bodansky's books -- that the embassy bombings were a response to the U.S.'s jailing of Rahman.
