Damn. It's right in front of our faces, and most people don't think twice about the concept of False Flag operations.

"Mitch (Samuel L. Jackson): You're telling me that you're gonna fake some terrorist thing, just to scare some money out of Congress?

CIA Director Leland Perkins: Well, unfortunately, Mr. Hennessey, I have no idea how to fake killing 4,000 people - so we're just gonna have to do it for real. Blame it on the Muslims, naturally. Then I get my funding."

I highly recommend this movie, even just for the entertainment value, but there are a bunch of easter eggs like that.
