The Northwoods "plan", while indeed ludicrous, was purely deception. It 
involved NO KILLING WHATSOEVER.  This elaborate play is a far cry from 
outright killing thousands of people, destroying buildings, and somehow 
involving and coordinating thousands of others in a plot and 
successfully keeping it secret.

Was this plan rediculous? Yes. Did it involve killing innocent people, 
or even enemies? No.  Could 9-11 be just a more "hardcore" version of 
this plan? Anything is possible, but I have a hard time believing that 
the govt would be capable of pulling off such an complex plan, involving 
so many people.
