Sir: First, I would say that it was brilliant in planning, if not perfect in execution. 75% success is excellent, under the circumstances, and given their resources. Second, it remains to be seen if the verbal opposition of the secular leaders of some Islamic countries will mean anything. If he maintains the hearts of the huddled masses, which he has in large part, he will win in spite of their governments. In fact, it might be that their support results in their own demise. The FBI is far from finding all the clues. Even if they break this cell, there are dozens more, all over the world. They can be in sleep mode for years. I believe you will find all the play put on tracing the financial trail is feel good journalism. Cash is nearly impossible to trace. These guys are smart...they beat the Russians to a pulp. We (the CIA) trained them on how to avoid detection by Soviet intelligence assets...all of them. Moreover, the history of Islam is on their side, not ours. They beat the British to a pulp too. Al gebra, Al chemie...you think because their religion is dark ages, they are stupid? Far from it. I think you do not give them credit. That is often a fatal error.
