Folks,
I'm still watching the coverage and am still in shock. And I'm still
horrified at the possibility that Canada may have (unwittingly) facilitated
and thus contributed to this attack.
But I have a question, a complicated one but not a disingenuous one.
On September 11, four passenger jets were hijacked. Three of them met,
disatrously, their targets, and the fourth was (I hope) thwarted by its
passengers.
At least 50 - and as many as 100 - people were involved in this attack. It's
possibly the most complex, well-organized, and well-informed act of
terrorism ever. Yet there was no leak. Everyone did his/her job to
perfection.
On TV, I heard not only that the WTC was equipped to endure an attack from a
707, but that this was common knowledge.
My question: WHY was this common knowledge? How effective can security
measures be if the boundaries are a matter of public record?
We must hold our cards closer to our chests than ever.
Roberto, too tired to post
