Unfortunately, downing a couple of passenger planes wouldn't have quite filled that requirement, would it?

Does it not give you just the slightest bit of pause that the type of event that was already pegged as a necessity for the sort of transformation that we are seeing in the middle east was the exact level of event that came to pass (both with a death toll settled at around 3,000)? I mean, just a little pause?

In a court of law, this would be called 'motive.'

And so what, if people heard some banging and clunking going around in the service hallways of the building? Who in their right mind would come to the conclusion that someone was planting bombs in the building...even if they did happen to stumble upon a bunch of workers doing 'something or other'?
