Topic: Madrid Bombing

The Intelligence Authorization Act codifies the official history of the raid on Osama Bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. The record names Bin Laden as the sole architect of the September 11 attacks and attributes other international bombings, such as the Madrid and London attacks, to his planning. The hosts dispute the accuracy of these historical claims.

A major terror alert in the Netherlands led to the shutdown of a large shopping area and an IKEA store following a tip from a Belgian prepaid phone. Seven suspects were arrested but released two days later. The hosts suggest the event may have been a distraction from the declining stock market.
