bin laden et al are unnecessary logically to explain the attacks.
they could VERY easily have been organized by a small group no-one was looking for.
and such an organization makes more sense.
again, think about it: if you were going to organize an action on that scale, how would you do it?
that bin laden et al would use the events to further their own political position is not a surprise. i see that as an attempt by al qeada to further its own political objectives.
the problem this scenario raises really is that there was no way to prevent the 9/11/2001 attacks and there is no way to prevent another one. a state can only prevent actions from groups it is looking for. it cannot prevent anything undertaken by groups that it is not looking for.
