But you'd think that if there was an Al Qaeda connection, they'd be shouting it from the rooftops, right? Naming the names so we can all revile the evil Mooslims?
What's irritating is that when I checked on the Interdisciplinary Center story below:
Meanwhile, in Herzliya, Israel, a group headed by former Israeli intelligence officials -- the Interdisciplinary Center, a counter-terrorism think tank
-- has issued a report on Osama bin Laden's finances ("Black Tuesday: The World's Largest Insider Trading Scam?") saying insiders profited by nearly $16 million.
This is all that the earth-shattering report says about OBL: "The difficulty, of course, will be in tracing the transactions to their real source. The trading is sure to have been done under false names, behind shell corporations, and in general to have been thoroughly obfuscated. If in fact the Black Tuesday attacks -- and the associated securities transactions -- were made under orders from Osama bin Laden, then we are dealing with an expert in masking ownership of corporations and making covert deals. This doesn't mean that unraveling the threads of these transactions will be impossible, but it probably won't be quick or easy."
So basically the SF Chronicle article was making it seem like the Israeli Interdisciplinary Center had made a definite connection between the OBL and the mysterious 911 profits when it hadn't.
Check it out:

How's that for propaganda?
