  September 11, 2001 attacks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The September 11th attacks are among the most significant events to have occurred so far in the 21st century in terms of the profound economic, social, political, cultural and military effects that followed in the United States and many other parts of the world.
The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks upon the United States, known as the 9-11 Commission, released its report on July 22, 2004, concluding that the attacks were conceived and implemented by al-Qaeda operatives.
The attacks were denounced world-wide, with the headline of Paris, France's "Le Monde" newspaper being prototypical: "Today We Are All Americans." Approximately one month after the attacks the USA led a wide coalition of international forces into Afghanistan in pursuit of al-Qaeda forces.

 ASIL Insights: Terrorist Attacks on World Trade Center and Pentagon
If the perpetrators were state agents sent by their government to carry out these attacks, then calling this an “act of war” and holding that government responsible for the attacks would not be particularly remarkable.  However, as it appears that the acts were committed by non-state actors, novel legal issues arise.
If the terrorist attacks can be attributed to a state, then that state would be in breach of international law and the US would be entitled to take countermeasures.  Further, as an armed attack, the US would be entitled to use military force pursuant to Article 51 of the UN Charter.
The terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center (if not the Pentagon) on September 11, 2001 pose the legal dilemma of how to respond proportionally when the initial attack was itself unreasonable, excessive, and against civilians.

 The CIA as a Terrorist Organization
Terrorist action differs from military action in two respects: (1) In military action the target is military (or provides direct support to the military), not civilian; in military action the military forces of some organization, usually (but not necessarily) a state, target the military forces (and supporting infrastructure) of an opposing organization, usually a state.
From the point of view of the occupying power such groups are composed of "terrorists", but from the point of view of the inhabitants of the occupied territory they are "freedom fighters" — militant groups engaged in armed conflict with an occupying enemy state (Israel, Spain, India, etc.).
That the CIA is a terrorist organization is clear from its record of terrorist activities (sometimes called "counterinsurgency" or "low intensity conflict").

 Terrorist Attacks, September 11 2001
You can see that shortly before the terrorist attack, the wandering line takes on a strong trend representing a persistent departure from what is expected of random data.

 Terrorist Attacks and Children // National Center for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
For instance, the September 11th, 2001 attacks and the Oklahoma City bombing received widespread attention and media coverage and many children were exposed.
From previous research, we know that more severe reactions are associated with a higher degree of exposure (i.e., life threat, physical injury, witnessing death or injury, hearing screams, etc.), closer proximity to the disaster, a history of prior traumas, being female, poor parental response, and parental mental health problems.
In a national sample of adults surveyed 3-5 days after the September 11th attacks, 35% of parents reported that their children had at least one stress symptom and almost half reported that their children were worried about their own safety or the safety of a loved one.

 "Israeli Intelligence: Hezbollah is Recruiting Europeans for Terrorist Attacks against Israel" (September 1999)
Senior Israeli intelligence sources believe that Hezbollah's military wing has stepped up efforts to recruit Europeans to carry out terrorist attacks against targets in Israel.
Hezbollah has rarely attempted to infiltrate Israel in the past, restricting its operations to the Israeli-occupied security zone in south Lebanon (and, on occasion, to volleys of Katyusha missiles fired across the border).
However, the recent trial of Steven Smyrek, a British-educated German recruited by Hezbollah to photograph potential bombing targets in Israel, suggests that extremist elements within Hezbollah have already begun preparations to initiate a Hamas-style terrorist campaign in the future.

Because these attacks will be instigated at the order of the Honorable Donald H. Rumsfeld, U.S. Secretary of Defense.
In other words--and let's say this plainly, clearly and soberly, so that no one can mistake the intention of Rumsfeld's plan--the United States government is planning to use "cover and deception" and secret military operations to provoke murderous terrorist attacks on innocent people.
For P2OG is not designed solely to flush out terrorists and bring them to justice--a laudable goal in itself, although the Rumsfeld way of combating terrorism by causing it is pure moral lunacy.
