re: #407 filetandrelease

No, not at all. Two points, First, just after the attack the terrorist could not be certain what we would or wouldn’t do, and very well might have thought this was not an empty threat.

Second, the pure animalistic nature of our enemy was not common knowledge at that time.

It wasn’t. Hmmm, I guess 1400 years of written history, and all the shit that had hit the fan in the middle east over the 45 years before 9/11 wasn’t some sort of clue?

You make this all sound like it came out of now where, non-existent before 9/11.

Please.
