I'm working on the attribution settings for my mailer as we speak...

FWIW, some hours after the above was posted, no mention of this had
been made by CBS news, not too shabby even in comparison to CNN, who
have been known in the past to report rumors as fact (or perhaps to
fail to prevent impressionable viewers from being misled) in an
attempt to provide 24 hours worth of news coverage.

The possibility still exists, as far as I can tell, that these rumors
are just additional acts of "soft" terrorism, as anyvbody who uses
the internet has seen before.

As I write, at around 1:30 PM, EST, reports are being broadcast to
the effect that Osama bin Laden is one of various suspects being
investigated. Now it is true that Osama is, ethnically, an Arab, but
this almost doesn't matter at this point, given the complexity of his
organization.
