Update On Hotel-Bombing As Disguised AssassinationThe Purple Avenger strikes again, noting that... The Palestinian Special Forces, under the command of the Bashir Nafeh - also a member of the unofficial "disengagement talks" - have logged a number of key arrests lately, some in coordination with the IDF and the Shin Bet. Purple Avenger speculates that the other two bombings were merely cover to hide the actual target of the strike. It would explain what is otherwise baffling-- killing scores of Jordanians for no very good reason except to make another group of people hate Al Qaeda. Although, to be fair, that seems to be Al Qaeda's whole gig. Premature? Coincidence morphing into conspiracy? I don't know, but it is interesting. Thanks to cutaway. posted by Ace at 12:23 AM
CommentsI think some of the conspiracy thinking comes from disbelief that a person would just walk in on a wedding and blow themselves up. But interviews with terrorists and terrorist handlers show that is exactly the kind of thing they have done repeatedly, happening to choose a particular bus or cafe on sudden whim at the time. I'm not dismissing the conspiracy, but I don't think people should dismiss the randomness of the attack either. Not that it was entirely random... Posted by: Village Idiot on November 11, 2005 12:45 AM
Well, we know there was *some* sort of conspiracy at work in this case - the sort that gets 3 'splodeydopes coordinated at the same time, anyhow. So the targets weren't just random. I think Zarqawi knows his days in Iraq are numbered, and is looking to retrench and set up a new base in Gaza. Which, long-term, looks somewhat suicidal, as it essentially means adding Israel to the list of "people who want you dead," and the Israelis don't mess around. All that said, it's certainly not the only possibility. It could be the operation's goal was as simple as "Intimidate Jordan." Which apparently didn't work, but neither does much else al Qaeda tries these days. Posted by: David C on November 11, 2005 01:42 AM
Of course the coordination could have ended at the timing and hotel dropoff, leaving the bombers themselves to seek whatever grouping seemed opportune to them once inside. Posted by: Village Idiot on November 11, 2005 08:31 AM

Email confirmed as once used by the Muskily Heterosexual James Talarico found in leak of emails of Fling.com sex dating site:
An email address that James Talarico's attorneys confirmed belonged to and was at one time used by the Texas Democratic U.S. Senate candidate appears in a database search result associated with the adult dating website Fling.com's 2011 data breach. A Fling.com account was created with Talarico's email address just before Talarico began teaching sixth graders. "Well I can't believe the trans-child-obsessed Confirmed Bachelor James Talarico is into group fetish shit," said noted void phantom Doctor Nullity, The Man Who Never Existed I'm not the guy who noted this, I saw it on X (Razib Khan maybe), but The Bulwark could be "audience capture". It might have started as the Frum / 90s-Kristol / NRO classic Eisenhower Republicanism. But nobody was reading the Bulwark except leftists.
Some researchers think the enigmatic and unreadable cipher of the Voynich Manuscript has resisted decipherment because the pages were bound in the wrong order, and putting them in the right order might allow them to finally break the code
But as of now: No Joy It occurs to me that a key step in breaking the Zodiac 340 cipher was putting the three parts of it in the correct order.
