"Was an al-Qaeda plot unfolding on Northwest Airlines flight 327?"

Oh, no! Please, not this. The capper of the whole deal is how incensed she was that no one was arrested because she was paranoid...

To answer her final question, sure terrorist could learn to play instruments, heck, they might have known even before they became terrorists. However, given the fact that they were booked for a gig and had their tickets and lodging paid for, it doesn't sound like they were just a garage band. Besides, I'd think that terrorists would go for a cover that wasn't quite so noticeable. Not that logic had anything at all to do with here article...

Ted, I first heard about this story on the local radio station while it was developing a week or two ago. Personally, I think Annie Jacobsen was being slightly paranoid, but that's probably a good thing these days. As for the Arab men, it's enough for me that their story checks out, that they were musicians on their way to perform at a Southern California casino.
