It's stupid in a war to sacrifice your leaders, your generals. You sacrifice your cannon fodder, the brainwashed gung-ho frontline troops like Mohammad Atta and the other hijackers. Bin Laden is the brains of the operation.

Not so. Bin Laden is a figurehead. Atta and the rest planned the hijackings without input from Bin Laden directly. In fact, he almost never participates in the blueprinting of any operation. Unlike a General in the military.
All the terror cells of his operation function independant of each other up until just before the event is to take place.
That much is well documented.
