The neo-cons are a group of people who where students of Leo strauss at Chicago University. The names are listed in other posts.
They have a philosophy which doevetails in with al-queda's brilliantly and together they thrive, for it requires a black and white vision of Good vs Evil. It assumes that the general mass of the population is greedy, selfish and stupid and can only be motivated (for their own good) by being subjected to grave danger and threat of civilisation collapsing.
These Straussians massively overplayed the threat from communism and Russia in the 50s - 90's. They are using the same philosophy with Al-Queda.
Al queda is a small and relatively harmless organisation that has been massively boosted and overplayed by the neo-cons.
If you study Al-Queda, you will find it is several groups. Some are genuine Islasmic extremists, others are made up of groups funded and supported by the CIA/Pakistani ISI, others by MI6 and others by Mossad. The genuine Islamic Al-Queda had very little support from within the Islamic community until the neo-cons helped steal the election (as they have admitted they did) and started a new religious crusade against Islam.
