It's not a good sign that I'm nitpicking the news a lot more often than I intended to.
ABC News, CNN, NBC News, etc., are reporting that al-Qaeda has claimed responsibility for the failed plane bombing this past Christmas. I'm skeptical: why would a terrorist organization claim responsibility for a terror plot that failed? As you probably know by know, Umar what's his name brought explosives aboard a plane headed for Detroit and burned himself trying to detonate. The plan wasn't foiled by the Air Marshall aboard Northwest Airlines Flight 253, or anyone armed. It was foiled by the other passengers!
By claiming responsibility for such a failure, al-Qaeda would be saying "Hey, watch out, we can put our idiots on planes to embarrass themselves!" Ooh, I'm scared.
