Thanks for adding this "New Perspective" on this mess!
"Nick cooperates in filming the PR stunt, but at the last moments, Zarqawi and company perform the real act.
This would tend to be inline with their tactics. Remember that not all of the hijackers knew they were going to die. Remember Osama laughing at the fact that his followers were not aware they were going on a suicide mission when they hijacked the planes."
