9/11 Commission

In case you wanted to read the most recent working papers by the 9/11 commission (I highly suggest it), the link is http://www.9-11commission.gov/hearings/hearing12/staff_statement_15.pdf .

The most interesting things I found in the statement are the fact that Al Qaeda is thought to have significantly collaberated with Hezbollah and Iran. This is signficant because Hezbollah, of course, is a target on the "War on Terror." Additionally, Hezbollah is supported by Syria, a secular regime. The residents of Syria are largely Sunni Muslim (74%), whereas the Hezbollah organization is largely a Shi'a sect.

Just food for thought.
