I meant to say that it is laughable that anyone would train anyone else in how to hijack aircraft by slicing throats.

But, and yet, it happened, did it not? (I mean, someone trained them.) You are arguing with reality and declaring it "laughable". I don't know what this proves other than that reality does not impress you all that much.

That requires indoctrination of the kind that small groups of religious fanatics are able to provide, similar to cults: controlling the person's life completely, indoctrinating them 24/7, etc. The claim that Saddam did that at a base in the desert is ridiculous.

I don't see why, and I don't know what your opinion is based on, other than some over-confident hunches that you seem to have about everything.

Nice retort. I'm hoping that Palmer will soon realize that his position is not very tenable after confronting reality.

Check out my posts at 8 and 15 and his replies for them.

I don't see how anyone could believe that training was needed in how to storm planes with box-cutters. The pilot training was required and was done here financed mostly by Saudis.

What raises my confidence is reading stories about Salman Pak. Or listening to the President describe Iraqi tortures. Whether these stories are true or not, it is all standard war propaganda and has nothing to do with whether the war is in our interests.
