Get too specific, and you have to rule out everyone EXCEPT the guys ramming planes into building and other attacks on a mass destruction scale. Which is clearly not the case.
What it boils down to an old saying about the 'corruption' laws: "I may not be able to tell you what it is, but I know it when I see it." A quote attributed to some Supreme Court Justice- I forget which one at the moment.
your not suppose to forget your suppose to automactically know it without no one telling you or wihtout a source!!!.Well thats what I would've ssaid if i was in the third grade.This thread seems a bit pointless lol.
