You see, Osama Bin Laden doesn't even have to issue another order. The "Sleepers" as they are called may already have there marching orders laid out on a timetable. Other orders maybe triggered by certain events.

I think it would be naive to think that there aren't other terrorists in our midst, and that there aren't other plots being hatched. However, it occurs to me that the recent event was a major undertaking and that it seems unlikely that there is phase 2,3,and 4 in place. For example, the previous attempt to bomb the WTC was not followed quickly by a series of similarly large efforts. I think we give these people too much credit in this. If I were a terrorist, I would now be trying to cover my ass so I could fight another day. The best thing we can do right now, as private citizens, is to resume our normal lives and not let fear of the unknown weigh us down, as difficult as that may be. JMO
