Clayton Cramer addresses at length the issue of the Air Force's role in the 9/11 attacks. The question has apparently been circulating on the web via email forwards:



"'Where was our Air Force on Sept 11, 2001?'



Normally deployed whenever any private or commercial plane goes off course or is not responding, there will typically be a half dozen US Air Force fighter jets escorting an errant plane in less than 5 minutes. Yet none even left the ground in the 40 minutes between the two airliners flew into the twin towers, and still none in the many long minutes before the 3rd plane hit the pentagon and the 4th went down in PA.



Make you wonder?"



He's got the facts to answer that one.
