They picked up key details from one of the suspects, including the intended date of the attack—New Year’s Eve, 1999—and what the detainee said was the operation’s slogan: “The season is coming; bodies will pile up in sacks.
That is a crappy slogan -- too long, and sort of unwieldy, with the wrong level of vagueness and specificity. "The season is coming; bodies will pile up in sacks" reads like a poorly translated haiku.
My job needs a better slogan too. "Always be learning, always be teaching," or whatever it is is just forgettable.
