Were that the case you would expect someone to call in and claim 'credit' for the work.

Perhaps ... I don't recall any "credit call" after 9-11, though. I do know that al-Qaeda likes the spectacular.

I'm not convinced one way or the other ... just not enough to know yet...

Some time after 911, OBL did aknowlege his involvement on at least one of his tapes. But you are rite, no one jumped on it real fast like a lot of terrorist groups do.

Yaelle, after the OKC bombing, Clinton was privately jubliant that it increased his poll numbers. The biting lip, "Ron Brown" crocidile-type tears etc.
