AMERICA and the West are bracing themselves for another potential "Day of Infamy" this Saturday, when accomplices of the hijackers are suspected of having plotted new outrages.
It would be stupid to hit now. The terrorists will wait until after the U.S. takes overt action. Their counter-blow will then have the most impact. If Americans learn that every time their troops attack, American civilians die, it will increase pressure to end the campaign. Terrorists might have scheduled something for Saturday, on the assumption that the U.S. would have attacked by now. But the unexpected restraint on the part of the U.S. leadership will require a revision to the timetable.
The three, Ahmed Hanna, 33, Karim Koubriti, 23, and Farouk Ali-Halmoud, 21, from Morocco and Algeria, worked at Detroit Metropolitan Airport preparing food for airlines.
Is this why the airlines are going to stop serving food?
