I stopped reading after paragraph 4 and here's why:

after deliberating non-stop for 72 hours,

I've tested code written during a 48 hour code marathon, it was junk. The human mind doesn't hold up well to that kind of stuff. In most people hallucinations start at around 60 hours.

flight crews of the four passenger airliners, involved in the September 11th tragedy, had no control over their aircraft.

It took them 72 hours to figure out that the crews didn't fly the planes into buildings?! Briliant deduction.

to be used as guided missiles and in the coordinated delivery of those missiles to their pre-selected targets.

a farm field in Pennsylvania was their intended target struck with "military precision"?

supposedly trained on Cessna light aircraft,

My understanding was that they had been doing simulator work on multi-engine. Simulator work is step one to doing the real thing. And if you're not going to bother to take off and land, if you're not going to take control of the plane until AFTER somebody else has trimmed it, multi-engine vs single engine just ain't that tough.

It further throws into doubt their ability to master the intricacies of the instrument flight rules (IFR)

This has two major problems. #1 they weren't flying in IFR weather and therefore didn't need to know how to do it. #2 you can get instrument rated in small aircraft.

At this juncture it becomes clear that this report is totally bogus and should only be read as a work of fiction.

Well...I believe you've given us a good explanation for this hallucinatory article.
