Would have been worse, esp with Marines on board

I'm surprised that Al Qaeda could find volunteers for this mission. I'll bet Mohamed Atta would have told Al Qaeda to go screw themselves if they had asked him to do this. Not that he'd be unwilling to sacrifice his life, obviously, but that he would be willing to waste his life when the mission had no chance of success. I wonder if these guys were inspired by the Somali pirates, and thought that hijacking an aircraft carrier would be as easy as hijacking a cargo ship.
