>> To perform a single task.....to blow up a plane and kill himself. How much training and knowledge of the company does an employee get if the employer knows he's going to die soon? Everyone -- even those with whom I disagree -- are in agreement about one thing: The guy could potentially provide information on people he dealt directly with. This would include other people, like him, who were being trained or otherwise outfitted to make another attack. Suppose there is a 95% that there ARE NO OTHERS in that position. Then, fine. There is a 5% chance there are, and if so, we need to know who they are and how to find those people. What he said to the FBI was that he was "tutored in terrorism while living for a month with a senior Al Qaeda commander in Yemen", and he claimed "there are plenty more like me." True? False? Who knows. We'd damned sure know if the CIA were doing the interrogating. What are you going to say if 300 people are killed in the next attack? YOU aren't going to be the guy facing those families. Obama is. And that's why this has motivated him to get off his ass (although, one cannot rule out a heavy political influence, as well). GWB eliminated these threats by adopting common-sense policy that worked. Now, on average, we've had 1 attack every 3 or 4 months since Obama took office -- after 8 years of no attacks. This simply cannot be discounted. What they're been doing for the last hasn't worked; Obama has recognized it, and is clearly planning to take action. He knows his presidency is over if one gets through. AND HE HAS INTEL YOU DON'T HAVE.
