      @zeynep maybe it’s so they could review the decision? Like, they did a Skype and kept a capture because they were all worried they’d forget?

      @thegrugq What is the scenario under which they wouldn't take notes instead? Extreme stupidity, extreme hubris or the article is wrong?

      @zeynep is this a credible report? It’s important to get the facts right on this stuff…

      @thegrugq I wouldn't be surprised if the answer turned out to be hubris and stupidity. Incongruent fact is that seems they can manage TATP.

      @thegrugq I guess it will go back to the unfortunate fact that it's not hard for even idiots to kill lots of people if willing to die along.

      @thegrugq (though we know these folks are obsessed with posthumous reception.. Still, that's what manifestos are for, not recording plans).

      @zeynep these guys are not very good terrorists… But Belgium is a very soft operating environment. It’s hard to figure out what’s going on.

      @zeynep according to the NYT, there were 36 ppl actively involved in the Paris attacks. 36! That’s an insanely high number

      @thegrugq They managed to keep secret an attack that involved 36 in the full know? That would be.. wow. Even 9/11 was not close to that iirc

      @zeynep wtf do you need 36 people for? How is that even possible? I think the count must be wrong..,

      @thegrugq Maybe it counts everyone whose home they stayed or asked for favors without telling them what they were up to?

          @zeynep I think the count is very skewed. It includes ppl that have been released from custody, so they couldn’t be that important
