The whole thing is just ludicrous.

Well, like arsenal said, they did scramble 2 fighters for flight 11 but were unsuccessful. The hijackers had that one for about 30 minutes by all accounts. Flight 93 and flight 77 were under hijacker control for even longer than that..........so I still consider it a major fail for NORAD.
Does anyone remember the Able Danger hearings? Did you guys not question the 9/11 story when that occured? I want to look into it more because at the time I did not pay close attention to it.
