Moussaoui intelligent enough?

Is it even feasible that Zacarias Moussaoui has the necessary intelligence to pull off the 9/11 plot that he claims to have been a planned participant? That question goes doubly do for his supposed accomplice, Richard (Dick) Reid. It would amaze me of the two of them could pull off a car-jacking, much less taking over a flight. Moussaouis demeanor during this phase of the trial makes it seem that he is trying to Martyr himself, as if to say, "Geez, Guys, I seriously was GOING to do it, am I still going to get my virgins?" These guys couldn't jihad a mini-van full of kindergarten students, much less an Airplane full of Americans.

A day late....

Ok, ok, I know, I'm months behind the annual blogiverse-wide redesign timeline, but better late than never! Obviously, this wasn't an entire re-design, but I loved what I started out with, and didn't want to deviate too far. I have gone through roughly 3 MAJOR re-designs in the past 4 years, yes it has been almost that long, and this one has stuck. I have had in the neighborhood of 11 banners designed, and regular readers have seen around 4 of them. While the current banner looks deceivingly like the last one, April designed them right around the same timeframe, and they are quite different. This one is much cleaner, much larger, and has a completely different mountain scene in it.

I'm also running on new "Guts" around here these days. I have upgraded to MT 3.2, to combat all of the comment and trackback spam that I have received. The 3.2 interface is also much more intuitive than older versions of MT, along with being much more powerful. Enjoy, and have a look around!
