Bin Laden threatens to strike like no one's ever stricken before. Three weeks later, Black Tuesday. Bin Laden denies involvment.

Something doesn't ring true here. People were claiming the attack even though they hadn't. If he has, why is he denying?

Shit. If it's not him, are we ever going to find out who really did it?

We don't know who did it, no matter how many people are pointing at Bin Laden. But it's still early on.

The only thing I can think...

... is that, assuming that bin Laden was behind this it, he totally misjudged what the reaction would be from not only the American people and government, but from all the people and governments of the free world. Perhaps, as with Japan in WWII, his intent was to demoralize and intimidate, and when he realized that all he did was to wake that sleeping giant, he started denying it.

Actually, that did occur to me. I sort of hope this is the case, because if it isn't him, how will we find out who it was?
