you're crazy secretmethod... no one would EVER think of attacking my cozy home of OKC. wait...

my favorite terrorism analyst Mansoor Ijaz (the man has connections and insight in spades) spoke about something i thought had a lot of merit...

perhaps the reason bin laden released this tape so close to the election was because he was powerless to do anything else. maybe his infrastructure has been hurt so badly that he couldn't engineer another attack in time for the election making a video appearance the most influence he could muster at this particular time. now, hopefully this is on the right track and we won't have an attack in the near future... but if we don't i think such an explanation would be plausible.
