Anyone except Company guys, the Saudis and Macdill. Dekkers is fluent in German as *is* Atta. In private conversation, when I knew him after 2001, he would swear up and down that there was absolutely no way for the hijackers to have accomplished the TT hit. None. Zero. Nada.

Won't matter, it's a waste of money. the geezers will taxi out on the wrong ones and land on the outbounds. *sigh* -- http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/index2.php# |
