Bookman, I understand your angst but NORAD would have had absolutely no reason to be concerned with what scheduled flights of airliners were doing on that, or on any other morning in our history. These planes were doing nothing out of the ordinary until they suddenly altered course. Our, and no one else's defense systems are capable of predicting the future or in reading men's minds. I was in no way belittling the events of 9-11. It was a terrible castrophe in the history of our nation - it did not only effect those who were directly touched, it altered the lives of all Americans everywhere. We have been touched by the action of terrorists - all of us, and that simply isn't acceptable. Will an investigation alter the facts of the events of 9-11? I don't think so. Will the events of 9-11 alter our conduct in the future? I certainly hope so.
