Re: Mmm. Smoke and mirrors, me thinks.

One of the things that keeps getting forgotten about Osama bin Laden is that he used to be an engineer which is why he did things the way he did. Don't have missiles yet want to make a big boom? Planes are a nice substitute. His communications were very low tech for one reason. All the high-tech ones could easily be compromised. In the espionage biz everything is kept a simple and low tech as possible as things will go wrong as any engineer knows down to their bones. [Murphy was an optimist.] He did give them a good run, just not quite good enough.
