I am not an Islamic terrorist. :) But he's got a point. I am sure the SEC is looking into recently-initiated massive short positions.

Rambi & P: "Japan checking securities trade... ...for bin Laden link" usatoday.com Here's a cut/paste as I'm not sure this link works: 09/14/2001 - Updated 09:49 AM ET Japan checking securities trade for bin Laden link TOKYO (Reuters) — Japan's securities watchdog said Friday it is investigating trading around the time of this week's terror attacks in the United States to see if any transactions were linked to Islamic militant Osama bin Laden. A Securities and Exchange Surveillance Commission official confirmed the probe into whether there were dubious trades on the Tokyo and Osaka stock exchanges and whether these were linked to bin Laden, whom U.S. officials say is a prime suspect in the attacks. A report from London in the Sankei Shimbun newspaper said U.S. and British intelligence agencies are investigating whether there were links between bin Laden and some trades in securities futures in the United States and Europe before and after the attacks. Such transactions could have reaped huge profits for people knowing in advance of the attacks and speculating on a resulting fall in share prices. The United States has named bin Laden, now in exile in Afghanistan, as a prime suspect the attacks on New York and Washington on Tuesday.
