I've just reread LDL's post and my response. I now see that LDL may
not have been claiming that the CIA, FBI, and ASIO committed the
terrorist attacks in the U.S. on Sept. 11, 2001 or Bali on Oct. 12,
2002, as some nuts and knaves do claim. He may have been simply asking
whether these and other such agencies planned to take any special
measures on Nov. 13. Therefore, I should have replied that there's no
way to know what secret measures are being taken by intelligence
organizations and police forces in order to protect against terrorism.
The question still may have been a bit silly, since I don't think
anyone who actually knew what special measures are being taken - if
any - would proclaim them to the world through USENET. However, had I
read his question this way, I would not have called him a silly goose.
