Rather than stick my neck out any make any sudden judgements, this is just me thinking aloud for a minute. For all I know an announcement may be forthcoming any minute. Who knows.
But I was thinking about this: The operation to bring this type of calculated and clinical devastation took months, possibly years to plan and rehearse for. Whoever is responsible is very organised and has access to considerable resources to both evade detection or suspicion. They have a definite agenda. Which includes what to do in the aftermath. Do they A) immediately give a statement that they, and their group was responsible, or B) retreat into denial. So far it's B), Bin Laden, chief suspect as he is has denied involvement. Which of course doesn't mean he's innocent, he's most probably not, he and his organization obviously acknowledge the fact that terrible retaliation wouldn't be long in coming.
This brings up the curious question as to why they clumsily left the obvious signposts in the car found at Logan airport, which contained Arabic language flight manuals. If they wanted to cover their tracks and avoid blame until some time after the incident then why leave any clues at all? Unless of course they wanted to stir it up even more by leaving the blame to be linked to several possible suspect groups.
It leaves it all in the no-mans land of ambiguity. The Arabic flight manuals could be a red herring for all we know. After the chaos they caused they want to now remain silent. It could be anyone, someone perhaps who deliberately wanted the blame to be aimed at Bin laden and his followers...?
It's just something to think about.

Maybe it was the industrial military complex!!!!
Oh, wait ...
This operation didn't really require any more coordination than "board this flight at this time of day, overpower crew and passengers with knives, try and crash into these targets..."

I find this theory to be as credible as the theory that the Universe was created on 10-14 1971, at the moment of my birth, and is being maintained solely for MY benefit, and will wink out of existence when I die.

I too thought that that leaving that flight video thingy in the car with arabic things etc. etc. a bit too... sloppy. Especially for a group/groups of people who could take over 4 planes and crash them into major world icons... packed with people.

But would you really care about all that if you know for certain that you will DIE for your case? And the organizations that could be responsible for this, are as good as untracable. They truly are everywhere.

These terrorists wanted martyrdom for their cause. The results of their actions mean everything in regards to what they were trying to do. They wanted to punish the western world; punish democracy. But I'm sure plans were made by other members of the group for what to do after the event. There's a reason why those manuals were left for authorities to find, probably deliberately, in that car. We'll have to wait and see on that, right now nobody's talking as we know.
We don't know for sure who the Intelligence communities ar currently looking at. I think it's a fair bet that many different groups are being investigated. Fundamentalists of some form are obviously to blame, whether politically, economically or religiously motivated. No stone will be left unturned.
