1. Why?

1. The bombs are being manufactured and distributed by an ORGANIZATION. It can no longer be considered to be the work of a lone terrorist. The logistics aren't conducive to that kind of thinking.


I keep seeing this statement but I don't understand the basis of this conclusion. A dozen bombs or so, not even good ones by most accounts, can be created by a single individual. Mailing/shipping/delivering them within a 2 or 3 day period isn't exactly rocket science. They've already shown poor knowledge in general of addresses, spelling, etc.

I really don't understand this assertion that it must be an organized effort. Individual idiots have done things like this in the past. At best may 2 or three people are all that would really be expected. The larger the group, the more likely it gets detected ahead of time. 9/11 happened with 19 people, most of whom it is suspected didn't really know what they were signed up for. And they almost got caught.
