Okay, so what do we know. We know they had money. They had a cell. They had a leader. They had a target. They had a plan. Their operation was decided upon and timed by al Q's #2.
Never progressed past the planning stages? Can I ask you just one question:
What the fuck?
Because the thing after the planning stage is, you do what you planned. So they didn't have boarding passes yet? That's what the LA Times and you find most important?
