al-Qa'ida attack on Saudi oil execs

Why did al-Qa'ida choose people instead of pipelines to attack the oil industry in Saudi Arabia?

Okay, I haven't mentioned the attack yet, but I bet you've heard about it. Billmon asks this very simple question, and says his only answers are of the tin-foil hat variety.

Well?

And there's one idea he doesn't mention (because I guess it would take a whole tin-foil suit of armor): maybe al-Qa'ida reall is a CIA organization, like the conspiracy nuts say.

....but hey, think what you want....you will anyway.
