U.S. President George W. Bush disclosed new details on Thursday of a thwarted al Qaeda plot to use shoe bombs to hijack a plane and fly it into a Los Angeles building, as he sought to justify his tactics in fighting terrorism.Hmmm. Hijacking a plane with shoe bombs? And using it to destroy a building in L.A.?
Sounds like Bush has been jumbling together his memories of Richard Reid and the 9/11 attacks with some late-night viewings of Die Hard on the Superstation. I guess we'll have the proof when he signs off a speech with "Yippee-ki-yay, motherfuckers!"

Funny, I just rented and watched "The Conversation" tonight.
I agree that's their intent, but I'm no so sure it'll stick. I watched CBS News tonight and Bob Schieffer very pointedly noted that they'd asked tons of people in the admin. if wiretapping had helped there, and they refused to comment.
The press isn't buying it. They've cried Osama too many times now.
Keith Olbermann hit this hard, too.
Flying planes into buildings is like so five years ago.
SWA, I'm as baffled as you are. It seems a shoe bomb would blow off the whole cockpit, or at least depressurize the plane. Seems like a ridiculous plot.
