Behind the Attacks

Last night I tweaked the Wash Post for Page One'ing speculation that Osama himself was behind the recent attacks. Just FYI, yesterday's  NYT had the  opposite (and non-speculative take):
"MANY BOMBS BUT LINKS ARE UNCLEAR." Describing attacks from Bali to Casablanca to Madrid and London, the Times say:

to date, none have been traced to Osama bin Laden, the fugitive leader of Al Qaeda, or to other pivotal leaders of what American officials now call Al Qaeda central, to distinguish from its offshoots, admirers and those who its successes have simply inspired.

That's not sexy reporting--so it doesn't land on Page One. But it does have the benefit of being honest.

P.S. Now I'm really leaving... and will be back Tuesday.
