#3 Doug -- no doubt the FBI don't get the picture.

They caught the anthrax culprit yet?

#4 Many FBI officials have doubted that accused terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui . . . was meant to be the "20th hijacker."

Huh ?

Well, sure, if they mean that Ramzi bin Al-shibh was meant to be the 20th hijacker.

Zach was just his backup, or possibly one of several, in which case the speculation about "al-Qahtani" sounds about right.

What *doesn't* sound right is that Zach is a member of Al-Qaeda, but has nothing to do with 9/11. (What, he was just in the US for his vacation break after a busy year training in the al-Qaeda camp ?)

#5 Carl, do you get as annoyed as I do with the mental midgets in the American press? It is my belief that any sensible American would agree that the actual number hi-jacker Zacarias was supposed is pretty immaterial. What is material is that he wanted to learn to pilot a plane in flight without wanting to learn how to take off or land.

Let me illustrate - I don't think that many New Englanders could tell you what the uniform numbers were for Bob Kelly or Dave Schultz were. For any Bruins fan, the important assumption was that if either of them were on the ice, they were up to know good. Waiting for Bobby Orr to be crumpled in the corner was never an option. The idea was for Terry O'Reilly and/or Stan Jonathan to hit the ice immediately and take care of business.

It is sad that there actually are Americans that are concerned with ZM's rights.

Note - if you are still looking for Arleigh Burke info, I put some links under the post about the Russian carrier.
