CB, Is that a ballet move? <If we don't know what they were talking about, how is it a casus belli?> Arabic belli dancing? Cassius feats of Clay? Atta was probably just getting brain implants inserted rather than getting belli lessons: slate.msn.com That's how come they can get the terrorist suicide bombers to do the job. If we don't know what they are talking about, how can we know a belli when we see it, whether casus or not? <Assuming, for the sake of the argument, that Atta did in fact meet with Ahmed el-Ani, this is a "casus belli"?> Ipso factotum, Mq PS: checked dictionary.com.... now I know. dictionary.com

Re: duh Check the date on which Atta is alleged to have talked to the Iraqi intelligence officer. Check the date he returned to the US. See what Atta did in the US in the interim. Plug in September 11, 2001. Do you think they talked abut gardening, cooking, or the weather? Reminds me of an inexperienced lawyer doing a cross examination: "Q.- Did you actually see Farmer Brown bite off Farmer Smith's ear?" "A.- Nope." "Q.- Well, then, how do you know he bit it off?" "A.- Because I saw him spit it out."
