What an incredibly stupid plan. Is the average American going to be in state of panic because the drug market is full of tained coke? All this would do is further marginalise the already marginalized population of hard drug users in the US and reinforce government spiel about the war on drugs. Since the general public doesn't identify with targets, it wouldn't have anything like the fear-inducing impact of 9/11. I don't understand how such a goofy idea could gain enough momentum for Bin Laden to actually propose it to the Colombian drug dealers in person.
Well, one hopes, with any luck, Al Qaeda will be as stupid about attacking the "homeland" as we are about protecting it.
