Close to home or what?

Hearing one of the plots they got from bin Laden's cache of documents: Blowing up oil tankers.

"The US government said al-Qaida hoped the destruction of a tanker, together with the cleanup and salvage costs and market effects would result in "extreme economic crisis" in the West."

Rubicon-one well placed tanker to paralyze the Gulf Coast's oil industry
al Qaeda-multiple attacks on the open ocean

Rubicon-One explosive laden boat collides with a tanker.
al Qaeda-Somali style boarding to blow up from within.

Gawd, I wonder if bin Laden was a Rubicon fan?

Yes, indeed it got too close to home: an unaccountable secret government agency with a rogue boss, peering into the workings of government analysts, assassinations, drones, hellfire missiles, collateral damage, torture by proxy, a sabotaged oil tanker blocking Galveston bay and the entrance to the Port of Houston.

Too much information even fictionalized, for the U S government fathers in Washington D C.

Best series yet, on TV.
