C'punks,
Friend of mine sent me this. I like the poetic justice of it.
Terminal velocity of dust is pretty low.
Reports are that the bulk of the WTC debris are same. There are structural components from the base of the towers, and debris from neigboring buildings, which are more substantial.
All that dust might give 'em silicosis.
From the news footage it looks to me like Afghanistan is made of dust and rubble - why waste all that fuel? Just bury them in their own wreckage.
Frankly, a modicum of HE attached to a guided device is more effective ordinance.
There's a poetic sense to this, but not much military practicality.
Humor - it lightens the mood, makes the days go by quickly. Mike
Now, now, check your prejudice. So far there is no proof the Taliban had much to do with 911, nor bin Laden, nor the so-called 19 attackers. All we have so far is a niagara of news stories, most of them pulp fiction. Whatever investigations eventually turn up it won't be what we are ravenously consuming today, as news, as bombing targets. Most parties around the world are waving their prejudices in lieu of genuine knowledge of what led to the attack, who did, who is still planning more, what will be the weapons, what the guilty parties of offense and defense knew and when they knew it, and what part the frenzy about Condit and Shandra and the presidential election had to do with diverting attention, breeding envy, and numbing critical abilities. I figure a year from now none of the current suspects of offense and defense will be remembered after we are instructed in another way of being perfectly superficially prejudicial. Skin-tight shaved bodied, or their product replacements.
