Who gained by 911?

Bin Laden did. He got the international jihad he presumably wanted.

The Bush clan and the Bin Laden clan have a history. They're allies, friends, business partners, whatever. They're on one another's Christmas card lists.

I think we'll stop there.

Who'd have believed- a few years back- that a spokesman for the American governemt would dismiss the Geneva Convention as "quaint"?
