Letter of the Day:
Ari Fleischer claims that the Bush administration had NO IDEA that Al Qaeda would use airliners as flying bombs or missiles.
Oh really? Maybe they just plumb forgot about Ramzi Yousef?
"In January 1995, Yousef and his associates plotted to blow up eleven U.S. commercial aircraft in one spectacular day of terrorist rage. The bombs were to be made of a liquid explosive designed to pass through airport metal detectors. But while mixing his chemical brew in a Manila apartment, Yousef started a fire. He was forced to flee, leaving behind a computer that contained the information that led to his arrest a month later in Pakistan."
