'plot'? 'workshops'? toy planes?

were they actually producing chemical agents? was this plot operational, or still 'in the planning stages' as we finally end up hearing so often.

could it be that AQI is misleading the iraqi government? a very zealous iraqi government eager to show the world they can handle AQ by themselves... much ado about nothing
