There were no terror cells etc. Just factions of radicals who decided to act on their own.

^you're speaking of the Power of Nightmares...it was a brilliant UK documentary that elaborates on how both the Fundementalists and the Neocons use fear to cow thier respective peoples into following or accepting their view of the world...very much like Oceana from 1984 which existed solely as the perpetual enemy allowing the government to act however they wished under the auspices of war...
Luckily, for those who haven't seen it, its availble free on google video...three parts each about an hour long...Highly, highly recommended...
