GODFREY, YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING! You said: <Osama is very market savvy>. Ya, what it's pretty "savvy" to figure that American stocks (especially airline stocks) will go down big, when you kill innocent Americans in a surprise, unprovoked terrorist act! What the heck is wrong with you?

It is not the "how old it is" but the lack of in depth investigation that follows into any possible implications or additional knowledge by those on the US side... More importantly... where does that leave us... more exposed ? The lack of willingness to speak with truth by those in the know weakens their credibility. Today, with the Internet allowing access to more information and faster to a lot more people, it will be a lot harder to hide important elements of a story. Cry wolf unnecessarily often enough, soon no one will believe. Once again, what matters in the end is how exposed we really are... From the URL that DG posted... 'Naysayers' raise suspicions; Enron diverts attention from dire National security issue Months have passed since the launch of investigations by the SEC, NYSE, CBOE (Chicago Board of Options Exchange), Department of Justice, FBI, Secret Service, CIA, Department of Treasury, and the NSA. And yet there is no news, no suspects, no prosecutions, nothing. There are fears now that early 'naysayers' may have let a hot trail to go cold and allowed the terrorist insiders to cover their tracks. Despite all the evidence to the contrary, the FBI's Dennis Lormel said on October 3, 2001 before Congress that there were "no flags or indicators" referring to mere "rumors" about the pre-attack insider trading. The Enron scandal, beginning in October, followed on the heels of the 9-11 attack and subsequent investigations into Enron began to divide and stretch the limited resources of the agencies and regulators involved. The media focus began to shift as well with six or eight Congressional committees holding hearings and providing all sorts of media drama. Congress began to look toward remedies to stave off a total crisis of confidence in our economic system, and justifiably so. Obviously, the largest bankruptcy in US history, affecting thousands of employees with 401k plans and millions of pensioners, merits serious attention. Ironically, it may lead them to crack down on the same infrastructure; employed by Enron's Andrew Fastow and terrorist alike.
