I just heard an interesting piece of news on our local news channel here. A large insurance company down in Washington D.C. had received a query, approximately two weeks prior to yesterdays events, from an embassy in D.C. looking to establish an accidental damage policy in the $80 Million range. The insurance company had queried the Fed's because of the nation this embassy represented and had received a go-ahead from the Fed's. Negotiations were still underway up until yesterday.

The embassy? Iraq.

This makes sense. Because as much as Bin Ladin (spelling?) is the U.S.'s "boogey man," and for legitimate reasons, still, he must be a front for a larger, state run, terror organization. An organization for whom he probably acts as a feint, or mis-direction, front.

Who else but Iraq, eh? This gets more interested, and focused, by the moment.
