Reply #6: is that really true? what about bojinka?

[pitohui]

to be honest i don't remember how i reacted when i was told the gov't had broken up a plot to blow up 12 airliners over the pacific in the 90s, i prob. didn't believe it or even hear about it

i know how i reacted when told that the gov't had broken up the millennial plot, i laughed and did not believe a word of it

bill clinton was a victim of his own success, al qaeda did its thing -- the usa cole and the kenya/tanzania embassies but as far as the fat and happy on-a-roll america of the 90s i don't think we even batted a eye to bother to believe it was even happening

i don't know why * gets the media on his side to hype these things, the received wisdom used to be that terrorists bank on publicity so whenever possible don't give them publicity

unfortunately since * is a bit of a terrorist himself he doesn't mind extending the hand of media hoopla to his fellow terrorists, my humble opinion anyway
