I'm listening to it now. He's claiming the World Trade Center was a military target. He's a real piece of garbage. Now he's quoting bin Laden claiming that it's legitimate. Yup. Garbage. Flush him. Yes, you can claim that the Pentagon was a legitimate military target but I'd like to see him explain how all of the passengers on those airliners were also a legitimate target. Oh, wait. All of those lives are just abstract chits for him to use as props.

I would agree with his argument - IF the attackers were a national entity at war at us or had previously issued an ultimatum as a prelude to war. Under those circumstances, the WTC was as much a legal target as any German or Japanese city in WWII.
However, our attacker was not a national entity and they launched an unprovoked (from our view anyway...) attack on us. Basically, our enemies are in the same class with pirates and bandits - enemies of all mankind.
