From the viewpoint of a wealthy Saudi Islamist, perhaps the Pentagon is the ultimate symbol of American power--as apparently the WTC was.
I doubt the Capitol would have much visibility in Saudi Arabia, even though hitting that would cause -us- more chaos. Seems like the WH would be a prime target, but who knows. Maybe the PA plane was supposed to hit it. Or maybe, as some posters suggested, finding and hitting the WH would be difficult for a novice pilot.
('The Pilot' who writes a column on aviation in Salon did a few paragraphs on the technical difficulties of actually hitting a low bldg like the Pentagon.)
