Inside baseball, al Qaeda style

It looks like Osama bin Laden and Kahlid Shaikh Mohammed had just a wonderful relationship:

To hear Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammed tell it, Osama bin Laden was a meddling boss whose indiscretion and poor judgment threatened to derail the terrorist attacks.

He also saddled Mohammed with at least four would-be hijackers who the ringleader thought were ill-equipped for the job. And he carelessly dropped hints about the imminent attacks, violating Mohammed's cardinal rule against discussing the suicide hijacking plot.

Read the rest. There is a lot of information in that LA Times article about what was going on behind the scenes in the al Qaeda higher ups prior to 9/11.
