Excuse me if I am wrong. I thought OBL masterminded the Cole attack?

Is this a way for the media/this administration to further take the focus off of Osama Bin Laden? Again, excuse me if I am wrong but I thought Bin Laden was the one responsible for this attack?

<<From CNN.com>>

USS Cole plotter escapes prison



Among the escapees was Jamal Ahmed Badawi, considered the mastermind of the USS Cole attack.

1. I know I have heard that many times

but who the hell knows what to believe any more with this bunch?

2. I'm surprised they didn't try to pass that guy off as Bin Laden.

He has a beard and a long nose. Looks more like Bin Laden than some of the people they've said are Bin Laden.

3. Nobody by the name "Jamal Ahmed Badawi" was even involved in

the attack of the USS Cole. There was a guy named, "Jamal Mohammed al-Bedawi", but even he wasn't considered the "mastermind" of the USS Cole Attack.

That would be, most directly, Nashiri (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abd_al-Rahim_al-Nashiri).

How could this CNN writer get it so wrong? Bedawi was convicted as a participant, but not the master mind. Just Google the name as well "Jamal Ahmed Badawi". There are only 2 friggin' results, prooving the CNN writer got the name wrong. Is this CNN writer doing ANY research? Jeebus.

4. The Plot

1)Get small boat
2)Load explosives
3)Detonate near ship


Masterminding is not hard work apparently.
