Germany is looking into an insurance "scam"(maybe not a scam????). It appears bin Laden financed his latest activities by investing in short selling of insurance stocks just before the earlier attack on the WTC. Beating us at our own game.

I am more than a little concerned. When Russia invaded Afghanistan, the US trained Afgan rebels including bin Laden in terrorist activities. Iran, too, used our training against us. Now we are trying to convince Pakistan to stand with us against Afghanistan. I am assuming there will be something in it for them - maybe flight training on commercial jets?

Given that the US has apparently been harboring as many terrorists as Afghanistan, where does that leave us?
Sorry for the cynicism.
