Reply #71: "how could he keep a huge operation like 9/11 quiet?"

[petgoat]

How did al Qaeda keep it quiet? Assuming there were any Arab hijackers at all, presumably they had
support personnel who've never been caught.

The assumption that any 9/11 conspiracy would have to be impossibly huge is not justified.
It only needed:

*someone to tell al Qaeda when the six simultaneous war games would paralyze the air defense
*Rummy, Myers, Condi, and Cheney to sit on their hands
*Frasca and Maltbie to squelch FBI investigations

If you want to add CD to the mix, a few al Qaeda operatives could have rented office space in the WTC
and set up the Thermite at night in the elevator shafts.
