As I said before, the middle-eastern political groups are not given to such acts
of vastly undirected violence. They pick their targets, though their weapons
aren't always as well directed as they'd like, and they normally kill themselves
in the process. They're not willing to commit a truly gross act such as this
because of the scale of violence it invites as retribution, though they seldom
fail to claim credit for a successful attack.
This truly smells of our homegrown militia types.

Doesn't the pentagon hold many many people as well?

I'm sure the core parts of the agencies are working very hard right
now. They'll be in the field and in other lesser known offices. If
another plane hit the main offices of our security agencies, with our
people inside, then we would be in a lot more trouble. It's better to
have them in other places.

I haven't seen him yet. I did just see Arafat. He looked shocked,
althoughm he might be a good actor too? Don't know, just speculating.
