I would like to argue something pretty important to me.

He would say that tho', wouldn't he. That would make for a lesser offence one would have thought. Perhaps they even had a script to that effect. Particularly with regard to distancing themselves from mass murderers.

Maybe he said it to save face.

"I meant to do that, I didn't screw up."

Well, either way he should get sent to prison for like 6 life terms with an additional 10 years on top.
If he had blown people up, he would be dead, and only his superiors could then be caught.
If he was to cause panic, he was gonna terrorise anyway...

Would he? l'd have thought he'd say he had nothing to do with it.

l still believe it's possible the two events weren't linked, and the fact of three trains and a bus re-enforces that, why would the same crew do exactly the same thing? It's looks much more like a copycat attack to me, in an attempt to blame the same lot maybe? Plus, this wasn't a suicide attack. The bags were left, and one thrown, no-one stayed around to watch them go off. Add that to the fact that none of the bombs went off, and it certainly looks very possible that the two attacks were from different groups.

Yes, he would. When presented with the plethora of evidence that he was there.

If he is caught in a proveable lie (which he knows he would be) then he's fecked.

So he has to try to distance himself from the previous murders.

I'm with you on this one tralalala - I just wish I could get my wife and kids interested in going to Israel.

Ah yes! But would you be going with them?

**mnfesq** · 07-31-2005, 11:10 PM

Good one! But my point was that I am most interested in going to Israel and I think that concerns about terrorist violence there are overstated in the U.S. media.

So go.

How hard is that.
