If it looks like an Aiel, lopes like an Aiel and wears a veil like an Aiel, in my book, it's an Aiel.
I chose that quotation because it's pithy.Aiel have light eyes and light hair, almost universally. We have never seen an Aiel with dark eyes before. So faced with five data points (black and brown clothing, red veils, spears on their back, dark eyes which are glassy and hard, pointy teeth) one of which is disqualifying and only one of which is common to Aiel (spears), I say they're plainly not Aiel and another explanation is needed.
"Loping" crouched-over while reading tracks is an Aiel attribute? A unique one? Sorry, I don't think that's grounded in fact. Many societies veil, including the Taraboners and the Sharans, and Aiel veils are black, not red. Cadin'sor are tan, not black. What in the description of these "Aiel" (provided by someone who thought they were Myrddraal seconds earlier and "not Aiel" seconds later) is recognizably unique to the Aiel? Nothing.

The Aiel at the end are Aiel because they have veils (which they didn't replace before killing).

Liah didn't veil in Aridhol when she killed some Trollocs.

True, at that point she was essentially a feral animal.

There's actually a pretty good chance they aren't channelers, I think.

Whoever she had been, she was surely no Aiel, not with that pale skin and /those dark eyes./

Perhaps the black eyes are due to something akin to the saa? *NM*

Makes sense if they're Dreadlords, though, in a way, that would be disappointing.

There's no evidence to that effect; on what do you base that statement?

I suppose that means the guys who stabbed Demira in Caemlyn were Aiel too

If these guys were trying to make it look like a failed AIel killing, they suck at it.
