Anxiously awaiting confirmation of their release.
This book is also a very good read to understand how the terror plot almost fell apart on more than one occasion:Years ago I read a book called “The Looming Tower.” Maybe in 2006 or so. It was a highly detailed narrative showing how Al-Qaeda and various extremist groups, who had many disagreements and power struggles among themselves, coalesced to plan and execute September 11th.
Very strange. The post you've quoted is not mine, but someone else's. I can't seem to track it back to who actually made the original and should be getting credit for it. A glitch in the matrix I imagine.This book is also a very good read to understand how the terror plot almost fell apart on more than one occasion:
- Ben Ladin (23rd or so son of a billuionaire, so never had close to a billion dollars) was broke and Al Queda was bankrupt to the extent that they could not even afford fresh bread at one point. Terrorists became tired of stale bread 24/ 7 / 365 and began to drift away.
But.... a Vern alludes to Ben Ladin was able to "kiss and make up" with rivals who left years ago. They rejoin, get donations back up, and the terror plot continues..... .
The book also details how Ben Ladin even ordered a mafia style "hit" on a Jihad rival a decade or more before 9/11. Ben Ladin then moves one step closer to becoming the global Jihad personality.

I hear ya! I think many of us--who grew up in a country that embraces religious and cultural diversity--are naive when it comes to foreign countries and their customs.I don't trust anyone.
Didn't grow up that way.
I always trusted Israel. Always supported what they supported. (Maybe I was naïve)
But things have changed. I know, there wasn't a good long-term, solution, but in recent years some stuff has been going on. I don't see "taking the high road" when it should have been taken. Just some stuff that has gone on. MOO...MOO..MOO....
In spite of this, Israel has good ratings on the Corruptions Perception Index..so it maybe it's just me: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_Perceptions_Index
Only UAE and Qatar have decent ratings. The rest of their neighbors do not.
I still support them in this war, because Hamas started it. They gotta do what they gotta do. Zoom in, to see the green of Israel.

Just put on CNN to see if they know what’s going on…they have “breaking news” but it’s about the two hostages that they say were in fact released.!!! Waiting for news !!! #Breaking ...
Amid discussions on the US economy, Biden abruptly leaves for the situation room to address an urgent matter.
Surah 9 is the most violent of the KoranLOL that was from me…I’m glad you read the book, @Cryptic.
Isn’t it bizarre, these groups despise each other and even within the various factions, they have so much rivalry, but they will all get it together to kill the “infidels.”
