If you don't read the whole article, at least read the final "Fact" on page 8.
This is a question many have asked, just as many answers have been given.
There are others out there as well, some are so quick to blame the Bush administration, while exaggerating their blasphemy, they forgot one small detail. They gave a time-line when intercept A/C launched, where they came from, and where they went. Luckily there was more than one problem with their disclaim to fame, the first of which came when they said the USAF finally launched intercept from Norfolk between 9:03 and 9:38, anybody that has ever floated a toy boat or built a model plane knows this: Norfolk is a Naval air station! Their final debacle came when they said intercept A/C can fly super-sonic and can be on site within minutes. I wonder if it ever crossed their mind that President Bush would signed a bill to allow intercept A/C to go 'super' POST 9-11.
