Didn't they just say that it looked "really good in dark mode"?

Yes, and that is exactly what the prosecutor says she should have done in retrospect.

Well maybe this is a way for him to prove his point?

Does it really require all that much coordination?

Some top-level military exec(s) want the military to get more funding. They're in contact with Bin Laden. Bin Laden gets a bit of money to put a couple of arabs on a "work-trip" to the US. The military-execs offer a couple of pilots a "crazy increase to their life insurance". Check their schedules to coordinate the day of the attack.

I know there's a lot of detail left out and a lot of assumptions made, but I'm not convinced that it has to be an extremely complex and coordinated plan.

Well it doesn’t have to be that hard, you just have to come up with a problem that is not actually a problem for you, making it very trivial. An example: right now it is sunny outside, so what if I could build a service that notifies me of the time for sunset every day.

It doesn’t have to be a problem with actual value to anyone, but once you start thinking about it, you will probably find it engaging to solve.
