Oh Please... MSNBC: Al-Qaida might've called off 9-11

Why al-Qaida might have canceled 9/11 attack
Report: Plotters would have aborted plans had they known of Moussaoui's arrest

NEW YORK - Al-Qaida might have called off the Sept. 11 terrorists attacks on the United States had the plot’s masterminds known of the arrest of Zacarias Moussaoui, the alleged 20th hijacker, in the United States in mid-August 2001, according to the report issued by the 9/11 commission.

First off, Moussaoui has long since been disqualified as the 20th hijacker. He was part of a separate cell--one reason why Atta & company didn't know he was arrested. He was part of the "2nd wave" attack on the west coast that bin Laden scuttled for its impracticality.

So, no, the 911 plot was never going to be called off. MSNBC is being --suprprise!-- needlessly sensational again.

2. The Clenis talked them into going ahead

just to show Chimpy that ALQ was a real threat!

See, we told you it was Clinton's fault!

3. If it is true...

then maybe Bushie hid the arrest on purpose to make sure the attack happened. He did intentionally order the arrest to be kept secret, so it is logical.
