That narrative, as approved by the 9/11 Commission and certified by all the most 'responsible' pundits, goes something like this: for at least five years, 19 al-Qaeda operatives traveled to and fro within the United States, taking flying lessons, and going completely undetected, until, one bright autumn day, they hijacked four airliners and managed to ram two into the World Trade Center and another into the Pentagon.
