GFS, thanks for asking.

I don't know who launched the attacks - though I am interested, and have no personal theories nor bias (that I am aware of) that leads me to convincing evidence on any of the possible candidates.

I am interested in other unbiased perspectives that would lead us all to the most likely candidates - as much as we can speculate from our secondhand information sources and our logic.

My initial comments on this (and the related thread) were an attempt to open up reasoned and logical dialogue on the issue, without baggage, as I have no favourites and have no association with the USA, nor Britain (well,outside the fact that I live in the western world, not Russia, nor the middle-east - and I am not a Muslim, nor Jewish, and am not communist leaning).

I am very interested in mudcaters objective and logical views on who could benefit (without the "favourite team" baggage). Unfortunately, many on this and the related thread - including both of us (yes,that includes me), have wasted our resources on approaches that will never lead to much. What a pity.
