I don't think putting all of my chips with probing the defense and causing a diversion for a different attack is what I would do. I dont think the AQ has the kind of personnel, resources, or opportunity to cause a significant diversion.

Well perhaps, but I prefer not to underestimate my enemy and as they have to use an asymetric approach I would imagine that there is centralized planning that have outlined target systems, sensitive nodes to those systems, and broad mission type orders that describe the desired outcome of whatever event is conducted with decentralized execution leaving the method, time (within left and right limits if they want to maximize the effect), and place of attack to the operatives in the field. Remember, just because they have named buildings they may not be going after the building but the systems that support the operations performed by folks in the buildings. You don't have to blow up the stock exchange to shut it down or create chaos. Nor do you have to have sophisticated material to attack any of those targets or supporting systems. In conventional terms, you don't defend a hill by sitting on it. Just a thought and I hope I am wrong.
