#1 Everything you ever wanted to know about the Hofstad Group courtesy of Norwegian and Dutch intelligence.

Bottom Line: They were al-Qaeda and Bouyeri was important, but he wasn't by far at the top of the food chain.

#3 For the record, I think the prosecutor is foolish to make this claim. I understand their need to persuade the jury (and by proxy, the Dutch public) that Bouyeri represented more than a lone nutter gone bad. But trying to prove that he was the ringleader is wrong, because he wasn't, and the prosecution will lose credibility when it can't make the case.

#4 So true, Seafarious. The prosecutors are going to look awfully silly when they catch the real mastermind ringleader. They'll have to call him the hyper-leader or something, and then somebody will remember that the U.S. is supposed to be the hyperpower, and then what will we all do?
