What about the surveillance video showing four of those five men ging through check points at Dulles?
So were they not really on the plane, or were they secretly agents of the Rummy???

Maybe they were really on the plane yet, they were set up as patsies?

maybe you can't substantiate that in any way?

How can you prove they were members of Al qaeda? Just because they were islam and have arab sounding names?

Khalid al-Mihdhar: Fought along side Bosnian muslims in 1995, in Afghanistan against the Northern Alliance, and with Chechnyan muslims in 1998. Was randomly selected for extra screening during boarding, records show he stayed at a hotel in Herndon, VA the night before.
Majed Moqed: Also proven to be on the flight, and an picture taken in Green Belt, MD (right near DC) places him there with Hani Hanjour on 9/2/01.
Nawaf al-Hazmi: Also fought in Afghanistan, Bosnia, and Chechnya. Malaysian officials who recorded proceedings at the Al Qaeda summit that same year in January reported him talking at length on potential terrorist activities. Below is a picture of him being checked at Dulles on 9/11:
Salem al-Hazmi: Brother of nawaf, and btw, Travelocity shows that they both bought tix for Flight 77 in August online.
Hani Hanjour: "Hanjour obtained a commercial pilots license in 1999 and according to the chief instructor, "Despite Hanjour's poor reviews, he did have some ability as a pilot, "There's no doubt in my mind that once that [hijacked jet] got going, he could have pointed that plane at a building and hit it," he said."

Or was it because Rummy says so?

A five year-old could handle this debate better.

How did the fbi/cia ever name these hijackers responsible for crashing a plane into the pentagon in just three days after the attacks when the fbi/cia have claimed they failed to connect the dots with an assload of forewarnings they've received that could've help them prevent 9/11? It can't be simply by looking at arab sounding names on the passenger manifest.

Because ALL of these men had at least small links to radical islam, and some of them were already on the terrorist watch list!! Others had been implicated in the Cole bombing! PAY ATTENTION!
Because he was probably a walk on. keep in mind, this is all the product of PRE-9/11 airline policy. Things are a lot different now.
Let's say, for the sake of your ridiculous argument, that he WASN'T on the plane, and that someone else of the four in fact crashed the plane. The other four were DEFINITELY on the plane, and the they DEFINITELY had at least loose ties with Al Qaeda and radical Islam. Coincidence? No.
