Mastermind Of 9/11 Gives Texans A Chill

Reality strikes these lawmakers.

WASHINGTON — Rep. Michael McCaul called the moment chilling and eerie. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee said she froze in place. And Rep. Pete Olson stared through the one-way glass, thinking, “My God, that’s the man who planned the attacks.”[...]

"It was eerie, kind of spooky, and it exuded evil to me,” said McCaul, a Republican whose congressional district stretches from Houston suburbs to Austin.

“I was riveted,” said Jackson Lee, a Democrat. “It became very, very real and sobering to me that our task dealing with terrorism is still ongoing.”[no duh]

Olson, a Republican and former Navy pilot, said it was “an eye-opening experience” to see the American-educated Muhammad and other senior al-Qaida leaders awaiting military tribunals.

“These are the guys who are most committed,” said Olson.

“They haven’t changed since they walked in there, spitting on people and saying, ‘Americans, we’re going to kill you. Death to Americans.’ They are still singing those same tunes five years later,” Olson said.

They will continue to sing those same tunes, it's in their blood.
