Stratfor.com is providing some of the best, most well-thought out analysis I’ve read so far. Here’s an obvious observation that hasn’t been offered by any talking head I’ve listen to:
In an operation of this sort, the probability of detection is always high. There are too many people, too many actions required, too many possibilities for […]
CNN is reporting more on United Airlines Flight 93 that crashed in Pennsylvania. Thomas Burnett, Jr. and Jeremy Glick are heroes. How many lives they saved by sacrificing their own, we will never know. R.I.P.

Stratfor.com doesn’t think the U.S. could win a conventional war if it is found that Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Iran, or any combination of states helped in some way with Tuesday’s attacks. They advocate the “Israeli Model” where covert operations across the globe destroy the organization behind the attacks.
I disagree with the notion that the […]
Virginia Postrel offers this very interesting bit of insight:
After yesterday, you will no longer be able to hijack a plane with a knife. You may not even be able to hijack a plane with a gun. In fact, you may not be able to hijack a plane at all. The incentives have completely changed. Now […]
Eric Raymond (of The Cathedral and the Bazaar fame) points out the failure of current anti-terrorist measures and looks to a “policy of a distributed response to a distributed threat.” Laws and regulations that limit our liberties are not the answer to prevent future attacks. Improved human intelligence without feel-good restrictions along with swift […]
How about a Die Hard twist to the WTC attacks? There might be over $1 billion in gold burried underneath what’s left of the towers. With the series of events looking so much like a movie, would anyone be surprised to discover the gold missing?

No request from President Bush for a Declaration of War. I’m hoping it’s because officials want to be sure they know who was behind the attacks, rather than a lack of will.

What happened to Jish is absolutely unacceptable. Just because someone looks a certain way it doesn’t mean they harbor ill will or violent feelings. People must be treated as individuals. Such blatant ignorance is intolerable.

This intro from the San Jose Mercury News:
The twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York were designed decades ago to withstand the impact of a 707 jetliner.
But when just such a disaster struck Tuesday, it was not the impact that brought the 110-story buildings down. Rather, it was a pair of infernos […]
Evil’s shadow fell upon the United States today. Even now, a cloud of death covers the ruins of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
The survivors from the WTC looked like ghosts. Their skin and clothes were covered with grey-white ash. Their mouths gaped open gasping for air. They were moaning spirits […]
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel deservedly calls her “the most generous Milwaukee philanthropist ever.” Jane Pettit helped build the Bradley Center which kept the Bucks from moving; the Pettit National Ice Center which made Milwaukee the place for Olympic speed skaters to train; and the Lynde and Harry Bradley School of Technology & Trade. She […]
