I see your point, but in my post I had chosen my words carefully: "...what if overwhelming evidence leads us to believe that Al Qaeda ARE a bunch of doofuses?"
The _kinds_ of stuff that has come out about people who _apparently_ were Al Qaeda could be called, if I were a hippy, mind blowing. These are people who went to flight schools and asked if they could learn just how to fly a plane, not how to take off and land. I'm sorry, but such people are not crafty. Such people are doofuses.
I'm not saying such observations prove they didn't do 911. I'm just saying it become easier and easier for someone so inclined to make a persuasive case that Al Qaeda didn't do it, or didn't act alone.

I think that they were well-funded doofuses who took advantage of the fact that too many people who work at flight schools would feel some wacko PC guilt about calling the authorities to alert them to a group of anti-social third worlders who only wanted to know how the steer the plane and were apparently quite vocal about not caring to learn how to take off and land. Kind of like a "Oh, we don't want to judge other cultures!" mentality of "diversity."
They remind me of the chunkhead who broke open the 1993 WTC bombing case when he returned to the place where he rented the truck that held the bomb and demanded that he get his deposit back.
