that this is the FIRST successful attack (in which wide spread death and
destruction was caused) I would say the CIA has been very successful. Do you
prejudge and entire sports team worth by the results of the first game or do
you look at the entire past seasons and make intelligent decision?

There have been numerous attempts at highjacks. Do some research before you
make a half assed comment.
