1. "If you look at 9/11, which cost only $500,000 to execute"

How the hell do they know any of this?

I think Loretta Napoleoni and Michael Buchanan are making up numbers to make people interested in the story.

5. $500K looks like a fair estimate n/t

7. From Osama bin Laden's speech, "The Towers of Lebanon,"

in which he claims, quote, "For example, al-Qaeda spent $500,000 on the September 11 attacks, while America lost more than $500 billion, at the lowest estimate in the event and its aftermath. That makes a million American odllars for eery al-Qaeda dollar, by the grace of God Almighty."

(From the collection of his speeches entitled "Statements to the World", translated by Bruce Lawrence.)

8. No-one, apart from Sibel Edmonds

seems to be interested in finding out exactly where the $500,000 came from...

4. Sorry, it just irritates me when...

...someone posts an LBN link to their own advertising-sponsored blog which then contains a link to the original content. I'm just a generally cranky person. :)

6. Sorry

but this has nothing to do with me. Just check, I gave complete info on this BBC article with link. Then there is a link to the blog where I keep my comments. BTW, there are no ads there!

But any meaningful discussion is welcome :-)
