#1 HEH!! Another renovation plot. Did I call that or what??

Time to take a good look at all construction projects - that's AQ's modus operandi for the big events in that area.

#2 knowing what we know about AQ, - we should be concerned they will try a simiilar tactic here.(Maybe we already foiled a few)

#3 sounds like the 'pliars and blowtorch' approach avoided another catastrophe

#4 Construction projects are key for several reasons: (1) they are a source of equipment, (2) in built up areas they often provide access to underground systems, (3) some sites have explosives handy, (4) unattended vehicles, or groups of people are not suspicious at odd hours.

#5 Would a couple of illegals in the US who just happened to work on the WTC's sprinkler system the week before 9-11 fit this pattern?

#6 RC In light of this revelation about AQ's tactics..it would be worth a second look.

#7 I call for the FBI to open files on Bob Vila and Frank Bilac - that Norm guy on Yankee Workshop has a beard as well. Take a hair sample. Make suer they have never been to Afghanistan.

#8 Anyone care to wager how much these recent turns of events are going to bugger up all construction contracting in Russia? I do not envy the new inspection protocols and worker screening policies that they may need to put in place. This alone may serve to cripple Russia's economic recovery. I'm trying real hard to work up some sympathy here, but it ain't happening. Sickest of all is how much we need Russia reading from the same page as us in the global war on terrorism.

#9 I think there's a better chance TGA will invite you to send wet teams to Germany.

#10 Somehow I don't think american construction workers would let similar subterfuge occur. My respects to Mr. J Hoffa notwithstanding.
