They would have needed total control of every aspect of the operation. I mean, is Rumsfeld really going to sit in his office knowing there is a suicidal maniac in a hijacked plane heading that way, confident that the suicide pilot has promised to aim for that empty wedge at the back? The only way you could sit there would be if you knew there was no plane at all, but rather a totally reliable. precisely targeted missile.
You don't know what he knew and when he knew it. How do you know he knew a suicidal maniac was or wasn't intending to anything?
Perhaps some of the events of the day were MIHOP and others not. Suppose the pentagon attack was intended to build on top of the WTC attack and to make sure that people understood it as an act of war... so the "insiders" attacked themselve and even did the PA thing to create a hero myth. The WTC might have been a real attack so to speak... that they expected... and the pentagon and the PA planes were staged by he insiders.
I think we are short on facts and long on speculation.
Malcolm do you think there was no plane in DC?
