Yes. Michael Howard (not the dreadful and reactionary British 
politician, but the distinguished military historian) wrote this in 
today's London Times:

"Another [statement frequently made that scarcely bears critical 
examination] is that the attacks required resources that could only 
have been provided with the support of "rogue states", although it is 
not evident that they needed anything more than good organisation, 
access to open information about airline schedules, a dozen people 
prepared to die for their cause, and a phenomenal amount of luck."
