My step-daughter just called - she's in DC works walking distance to the Hill - she and her entire office has been sent home. She's got a couple of really scared 25 year olds from her office who can't get home because roads are blocked by security, etc.,

Amos - I agree with much of what you said, with this adendum. If it is identified that a nation-state is behind this, expect a new parking lot to be constructed where their capital stands now. Expect the same if it was a rogue independent hiding in another country. The way you beat terrorists is to out terror them. And damn the consequences and slap anyone who protests with the same brush.

The attacks today may have been done by Islamic militants, Seed. However, NOWHERE in the holy book does an action get the blessings of the prophet or Allah. Those who hijacked the planes are surely damned eternally, as are those who sent them.
