Re: Question/correction



It's almost certainly the NY guy.  I've not been taking notes, and I'm 
notorious about poor details.  I should always check before posting.  ;)

I gather the sentencing was postponed.  This idea does provide a definite 
event that the plot was meant to target, and it may mean that the current 
flurry of security (as Brian said, panic about every package left on the 
subway) is unfounded.  However, there was some suggestion that at least one 
team failed to get their plane, or whatever, and might still be lurking 
about to "complete their mission."  Anybody else hear details about that?

I'd love to see the building rebuilt, too.  Lord knows how much it would 
cost now.
