I agree with your reasoning and evidence to a large extent, but wonder if there was also rule-based action involved? Of course, one would have to consider looking further into what is considered moral to the members of al-qaeda (based on religion or middle-eastern culture), for western values of morality may be different in many ways. I also like how you talk about the problems they wished to instill on America, but do you think that they also took into account the problems that acts of terror would reflect onto them?
