      @bmaz Any mention that we've launched 4 drone strikes in 10 days. Not that desire to strike US related to drones at all.. @armandodkos @CNN

      @emptywheel @bmaz @CNN This where I depart a bit from your analysis. Al Qaida and "affiliates" wanted to strke US interests prior to drones

      @armandodkos Of course. They wanted to strike the West. But I suspect the drone things makes us a more urgent priority. @bmaz @CNN

          @emptywheel @armandodkos @bmaz @CNN US PPL forget that AQ & affiliates have lots of reasons to attack US and others w/out US input anyway.

          @armandodkos @emptywheel @bmaz @CNN what's odd about seeing uptick in enemy indicators and alerting? Intel community is supposed to do that

          @soonergrunt @emptywheel @bmaz @CNN Nothing odd in that, odd is argument that NSA surveillance in US led to this intellgence.

          @armandodkos @emptywheel @bmaz @CNN And why is that? NSA does SIGINT/ELINT. That's who would notice increased comms traffic of various types

          @soonergrunt @emptywheel @bmaz @CNN It's odd to me is idea that Al Zawahiri used US comms to communicate with his subordinates.

          @armandodkos @emptywheel @bmaz @CNN the vast majority (90%+) of internet traffic passes through the US. It's not that odd. If anything...

          @emptywheel @armandodkos @bmaz @CNN The only way that made more of a priority is the urge to use assets before the enemy destroys them.

          @emptywheel @bmaz @CNN I am persuaded by the recruitment idea. Drones are neffective because they make Al Qaida's recruitment easier.
