When dealing with terrorism plots originating online, identifying who started the conversation is as important as who’s running with the idea.

May 12, 2001: Exactly 25-years ago today was Usama bin Laden’s preferred date to launch what became known as the 9/11 attacks. He was enamored with the attack occurring on 5/12, which was 7 months after the USS Cole bombing. KSM pushed back, arguing hijackers were not ready.

May 8, 2001: VP Cheney tasked with preparations for managing a possible WMD attack & national preparedness. 9/11 plotting continued unabated & 9/11 mastermind KSM began grooming a potential source w/means to obtain WMDs and to ship them thru US ports.

@RetroNewsNow Little kid me thought I'd dreamed the s bomb and for years wondered if I just imagined it.

[Mike Lebowitz @NerdVet]

Second Wave chronicles al Qaeda’s plan for a post-9/11 attack on America & their effort to obtain WMD. It describes a gradual slide toward pre-9/11 complacency, asking whether the US is prepared to prevent the next catastrophic strike.

@mikefreemanNFL I'll die on the hill that the greatest soundtrack to movie ratio is Flash Gordon.

@TonyGrossi Any day now Watson will shake off that rust.

@jimsciutto That’s not an uncommon military procedure if it’s broadcasting to an enemy force military maneuvers or causes force protection issues.

@mikefreemanNFL All the references to Star Trek and nobody remembers that movie where Jinx the robot launched Lea Thompson, Tate Donovan, Jaoquin Phoenix into space & the lady from Temple of Doom had to help them return home?

@RubinsRants We finally get a chance to talk about Grover Cleveland and they screw it up.

@An_awful_Jack What if Mrs. Flood is the Doctor's adopted mom (the one from the End of Time, not the other adopted mom from the Timeless Child thing)? #DoctorWho

@BIGPLAY_Dave I always wondered what would have happened if they traded the 1999 #1 pick (Tim Couch) to build an even bigger initial draft haul & then built from the trenches first thru a 3-yr plan. It was unfair to Couch and set them on course for failure.

@SassyMetisChick In all fairness, Gen X parents did rely on "older generations" to care for us. We had Mr. Drummond; Nel Carter; Optimus Prime; Papa Smurf; and Flint. And now you know. And knowing is half the battle.

@karnsies817 It’s much easier to accept the rule that you root for the Ravens to lose no matter who they play. This is one grudge I’ll never give up.
