Uh.....we knew about the terrorist plot in LA before KSM was even arrested. The Bush administration lied again. Why are you so gullible that you continue to believe all the lies fed to you by Bush? Seriously, what is wrong with you?

This, from a childlike commentator who didn't know who KSM was 6 months ago. Simple truth is you have to credibility to comment on the subject. At all.

That said, Noah's column, from which this claim of yours extends, is entirely naive, erroneous, and logically flawed.

What Fran Townsend said in February '06 was that a "key cell leader" (Marsan bin Arshad) in the Library Tower plan had been arrested in February '02. On this basis, Noah claims the Library Tower plot was foiled in February '02.

However, bin Arshad's capture did NOT result in taking down the cell planning to attack the Library Tower. As of KSM's interrogation, almost the entire cell was still free and operational.

In fact, the plot was broken AFTER KSM's interrogation and the the capture of Majid Khan (also in March, 2003). With the two of them being interrogated, the disclosures by each detainee were used in further interrogation of the other -- the result was capture of the "Guraba Cell" which was planning to carry out the so-called West Coast plot. These 18 individuals were captured as a direct result of information provided by KSM after his waterboarding.

There is much more to this story, but you have not bothered to educate yourself, preferring instead to post ignorant, uninformed crap on this thread. Had you read a book in the last six years, you might know something about it.
