Our Next Bin Laden Hit Be braced for a most likely terrorist attack on our NYC subways. I just heard our CIA guy who used to be the Bin Laden specialist at the C.I.A. reporting what we all know -- the Bush administration has left us wide open for a terrorist attack through its combination of failures to protect our ports and to carry through with the Clinton program to collect the left over suitcase-sized nuclear weapons scattered around and under protected in the former Soviet Republics. He says that bin Laden's latest offer of a truce is mainly addressed to Muslims who will recognize it as being in the pattern of Mohammed and Saladin of Crusade days who offered similar truces to their enemies before launching major attacks. The Europeans apparently ignored a similar one directed to them shortly before the hit on the London Underground last year. As you and I who travel on it know all too well, our NYC subways are wide open. I go back and forth between Brooklyn College and Morningside Heights several times a week and rarely see a policeman or any MTA authority personnel apart from the guy/gal seated in the Columbia University station. Happily for my students I have a Yahoo list through which we can continue our classes when our transportation system is out -- possibly a couple of months until things get going again? Hope they delay until warmer weather so those folks walking across the bridges will not be frozen out. Good luck in picking up the pieces. I wish some of you guys would do some whistle blowing. It shouldn't take us philosophers to be pointing out the obvious. I will say that they called us in during WW2 when they couldn't figure how the Nazis were getting the word on the departures from NYC of our troop convoys which were being hit by the wolf packs en route. We told them to get those society marriage announcements out of the Times and Trib which were signaling those departures. It worked! -- "A war is just if there is no alternative, and the resort to arms is legitimate if they represent your last hope."
