    "Remember: Mohammed Atta and his crew of butchers, who murdered 3000 Americans on 9/11/01, plotted the entire scheme in Germany."

    Where the hell are you getting this? One of Mohammed Atta's possible places of residnece was Hamburg, Germany. But so was florida. In fact, Florida was one for Waleed Alshehri, Wail Alshehri and Abdulaziz Alomari. Who *all* happened to be on AA #11 Boeing 767.
