DUMB AS A ROCK
Owing to the time difference, I didn't hear about the man with the exploding shoes till this morning. I was, however, able to experience some of the excitement of the breaking news by reading Ken Layne's series of by-the-minute updates.
Once again, Glenn Reynolds puts it best: "the hi-jacker appears to have been dumb as a rock." I don't think there is a verdict on whether this was official Al Qaeda operation, but if this is the best they can do, I'd say they're going to fall fairly short of the goal of the "total destruction of America" promised by Mullah Omar. We've still got Osama's Twenty Ships of Terror to reckon with though.
