UBL speaks of GWOT as financial assault on US

Bloomberg.com: U.S. :
"Saudi-born bin Laden, who aided the Muslim resistance against the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, boasts in his latest message of how little the Sept. 11 attacks cost and how large a financial impact they had on the U.S. Bin Laden accuses Bush of waging war to benefit Halliburton Co. and other contractors, and leaving American taxpayers with the bill. The Bush administration has rejected such linkages"

The Halliburton part is BS, probably intended to aid the Kerry campaign although they didn't take the bait, but this emphasis on economic impacts is something I have long expected. If they chose targets economically rather than for bloodlust, they really could do a lot of damage for very little money. I will not, however, explain how I think that could be done.
