OPENING STATEMENT

The ancient Greek philosopher Socrates taught his students that the pursuit of truth can only begin once they start to question and analyze every belief that they ever held dear. If a certain belief passes the tests of evidence, deduction, and logic, it should be kept. If it doesn't, the belief should not only be discarded, but the thinker must also then question why he was led to believe the erroneous information in the first place. Not surprisingly, this type of teaching didn't sit well with the ruling elite of Greece. Many political leaders throughout history have always sought to mislead the thinking of the masses. Socrates was tried for \"subversion\" and for \"corrupting the youth\". He was then forced to take his own life by drinking poison. It's never easy being an independent thinker! Today, our ruling government\/media complex doesn't kill people for pursuing the truth about the world (at least not yet!) They simply label them as \"extremists\" or \"paranoid\", destroying careers and reputations in the process. For many, that's a fate even worse than drinking poison hemlock!

Every news story you are about to review in this research paper is true and easily verifiable. This investigation represents 10 months of careful study, research, analysis, source verification and logical deduction. Every event and quote presented here is 100% accurate. There are about 200 detailed footnotes which I encourage, no, urge, readers to explore and verify for themselves. The Internet version of this paper will allow users to obtain instant verification for each and every footnote by clicking on the footnotes\/links. Others can obtain easy verification by entering the key search words (provided at the end of the paper) into the Yahoo or Google.com search engines. Due to the fact that well organized efforts are under way to suppress these facts, some of these news links are mysteriously disappearing even as we speak. Fortunately, this information has all been transcribed by many websites and has therefore been preserved from the censors. These footnote searches will take you directly to the news sites of many well known established media organizations throughout the world as well as opening up doors to a world of knowledge and information that has been concealed from you. With just a little common sense and a few clicks of a mouse, Google and Yahoo now enable anyone with an ounce of curiosity to become a Sherlock Holmes.

This is no opinion piece. Rather it is a collection of buried, but undeniable facts, events, and quotes which, when assembled in one place, will state their own conclusions. In putting together this research in a logical and sequential format, great care was taken to confirm, double confirm, and triple confirm every piece of information. Any and all questionable data which could not be independently verified to this author’s satisfaction was discarded.

Taken individually, each story, quote and event may not amount to a full case. But when taken collectively, this mountain of facts should hammer home the truth to even the most skeptical reader. There are of course those who have fallen under the hypnotic spell of the TV talking-heads and \"experts\" whom they worship as authority figures. Unaccustomed to thinking for themselves, no amount of truth can sway them from their preconceived prejudices. They will even deny that which they see with their own eyes. They are victims of a psychological affliction known as \"the lemming effect\". Lemmings are small rodents who have been observed to follow each other as they charge to their deaths into raging rivers or even off of cliffs. Lemminghood is an innate psychological phenomenon, present in most mammals and observable in common people as well the most sophisticated and educated elites. Lemminghood is not an intellectual phenomenon - it is psychological. As such, no socio-economic class is immune to its strangulating effect. A grant- seeking university scientist can be a lemming just as much as a fashion obsessed teen-age girl. One blindly follows the latest trendy theory while the other follows the latest clothing style. What's the difference? Neither can resist the force of nature.



The power to fit in with one's social peers can be irresistible. To a human lemming, the logic behind an opinion doesn't count as much as the power and popularity behind an opinion. Man, like lemming, behaves collectively. And it could be no other way. Naturally, the individual must be equipped with this trait. Otherwise, the smallest steps toward civilization could never have been made. Lemminghood is a survival trait, an inborn instinct in the majority of people. However, as with all natural phenomena, this tendency can be manipulated and used for harmful purposes. It is this lemming effect which enables entire segments of a society to lose their sense of judgment all at the same time.

This research paper will likely be wasted on many lemmings. For lemmings, denial is a basic psychological defense mechanism used to not only shield themselves from unpleasant realities, but also to reassure themselves that they will still fit within the acceptable range of opinion held by their peer group. Lemmings are absolutely terrified at the thought of being labeled as an \"extremist\" or a \"conspiracy theorist\". At all costs, their beliefs must always be on the “right” side of the issue and conform within the boundaries of their lemming peers. Lemmings simply cannot bear the burden of responsibility, or the social discomfort, which comes with thinking independently. They will resist any efforts to change their misguided beliefs with all their mental energy. We can try to open their closed minds and free them from their self-imposed blindness, but it’s not easy fighting the force of human nature. The chains of ideological conformity have too strong of a grip, and breaking them is a difficult task. With the limited resources at our disposal, it is next to impossible to compete with the media lemming-masters. The lie of the emperor is always believed before the truth of the peasant. Nevertheless, some of us must make the meager attempt, and thus lay the foundation upon which the truth might one day rise again.



There are those few among us who do possess both the courage and intellectual capacity to break free of the shackles of lemminghood and accept the truth when it is presented in a clear and logical sequence. To those open minded and independent thinkers I wish to state clearly and unequivocally. I intend to set forth in this paper an overwhelming body of evidence which should forever destroy the ridiculous notion that some Saudi Arabian caveman and his band of half-trained, nerdy Arab flight school attendees, orchestrated the most sophisticated terror operation in world history. The very idea is utterly laughable. And yet, due to the blithering barrage of bullshit dished out by the government\/media complex, millions of \"patriotic\" Americans have accepted this fantastic fairy tale, this moronic mendacity, this silly superstition, this dangerous delusion, with a religious conviction bordering on insanity. As an admittedly useless public service to my helplessly misinformed countrymen of today, and as a gift to a posterity which will hopefully be more enlightened than my bewildered contemporaries, I have published this research so as to liberate as many people as I can from the oppressive yoke of media brainwashing and state sponsored lies. Do you have what it takes to break free from the lemming mob? If so, read on!

THE DANCING ISRAELIS

Like most Americans, I was gripped by senses of profound shock, horror, revulsion, sadness, and rage as I watched the horror of September 11, 2001 unfolding live on my television screen. Watching the mass murder of thousands of innocent people live on television was the most upsetting experience of my life. How could any person of sound moral character not be enraged at witnessing this horrific act of barbarism? To read about some faraway, long-ago genocide in a newspaper or a book is distressing enough. But to actually witness the mass murders of what was, at first, believed to have been tens of thousands of innocent people is truly heart stopping and traumatic. I barely slept for two nights afterwards and suffered nightmares. Polling data would later reveal that 65% of Americans actually shed tears on 9-11. (1)



But not all of the eye-witnesses to the 9-11 slaughter were so saddened. On September 11, five Israeli army veterans were arrested by the FBI after several witnesses saw them “dancing“, “high-fiving“, and “celebrating” as they took pictures of the World Trade Center disaster from across the river in New Jersey. Steven Gordon was the lawyer who volunteered to represent the five Israelis. He was asked by a Hebrew newspaper why the five men were being detained by the FBI. Here’s what Gordon told Yediot America:

\"On the day of the disaster, three of the five boys went up on the roof of the building where the company office is located,\" said Gordon. \"I'm not sure if they saw the twin towers collapse, but, in any event, they photographed the ruins right afterwards. One of the neighbors who saw them called the police and claimed they were posing, dancing and laughing, against the background of the burning towers….

\"Anyhow, the three left the roof, took an Urban truck, and drove to a parking lot, located about a five-minute drive from the offices. They parked, stood on the roof of the truck to get a better view of the destroyed towers and took photographs. A woman who was in the building above the lot testified that she saw them smiling and exchanging high-fives. She and another neighbor called the police and reported on Middle-Eastern looking people dancing on the truck. They copied and reported the license plates. (2)

The Ha’aretz new service of Israel reported:

“The Foreign Ministry said it had been informed by the consulate in New York that the FBI had arrested the five for \"puzzling behavior.\" They are said to have had been caught videotaping the disaster and shouting in what was interpreted as cries of joy and mockery.” (2b) (emphasis added)

Ha’aretz went on to describe how the FBI field agents then subjected the five Israelis to days of brutal interrogation, torture, and solitary confinement.

When their photos were developed, it was revealed that the dancing Israelis were smiling in the foreground of the New York massacre. (3) According to ABC’s 20\/20 attempted whitewash of the incident, in addition to their outrageous and highly suspicious behavior, the five also had in their possession the following items; box-cutters, European passports, and $4700 cash hidden in a sock. (4)

Why were these Israeli agents so happy about the horrible massacre that was unfolding right before their very eyes? What evil spirit could possess people who are supposed to be America's \"allies\", and who receive billions of dollars in financial and military aid from US taxpayers each year , to publicly rejoice as innocent people (including many American jews) were burning to death and jumping out of 110 story buildings? Could it be that these happy Israeli army veterans were in some way linked to this monstrous attack? That’s what officials close to the investigation initially told The Bergen Record newspaper of New Jersey. (5)

As incredible, as ridiculous, and as \"paranoid\" as that belief may appear to you at this point, the fact is that certain elements within the Israeli government, and International Zionist movement in general, have a long history of attacking the USA and framing Arabs in order to gain support from the US. Before we begin to piece together what really transpired on 9-11, it is absolutely critical that we first review some historical precedents regarding Israel's and International Zionism's treacherous history of manipulating America (and other nations) for their own selfish purposes. Without a basic understanding of this history, it would be impossible to understand the truth as it is today. So put aside your preconceived notions, your psychological defense mechanisms, and your prejudices, and step into my time machine for a journey down the memory hole.

The willingness to decide for yourself and speak your beliefs requires that one be willing to disagree with the conclusions of other people. In our culture we are \u201cconditioned\u201d to agree. \r\nEverything we are bombarded with in the \u201cmainstream\u201d media says agree. If you don\u2019t agree with what the herd is saying and doing you are an an outcast - \u201ceverybody agrees that the new Belchfire is the best thing to ever roll on 4 wheels\u201d, and \u201ceverybody knows\u201d you should drink Virgin\u00b4\u2122 Water. The pressure to conform to the herd comes in many ways. \r\nSome statements of nonconformity, have now become statements OF conformity. It says I belong to a certain group and I don\u2019t want to be different from anyone in that group - I don\u2019t want to stand out - I want to be \u201chip\u201d and \u201ccool\u201d. \u201cYou\u2019re not cool if you don\u2019t wear Sheeple Jeans.\u201d And don\u2019t forget to make sure the label shows so that everyone knows you didn\u2019t buy \u201cjust any jeans\u201d (even though they really look no different and wear no better). The person who holds to a different belief stands out in the herd mentality that prevails in our \u201ccommon\u201d culture. The person of independent mind is often ridiculed and slighted. \u201cWhat a weirdo, a nerd, geek, nutcase, kook, scumbag, etc.,....\u201d And the crime? Thinking for yourself and daring to disagree. Where\u2019s your \u201cTinfoil Hat\u201d asks the mind numbed robot. The willingness to disagree with what the rest of the herd is collectively thinking or doing requires courage.\r\nWith 9-11 we are presented with the official conclusion and which has been propagated throughout the \u201cMainstream\u201d Media. \u201cEverybody knows it was Arab Hijackers sent by Osama Bin Laden because he hates us because we are free.\u201d Oh, Really. Based on what? Have you seen anything other than assertions which have no proof to back them up?\r\n\r\nHere are a few questions that remain unanswered:\r\n\r\nIf U.S. Air Force F-15\u2019s could intercept Golfer Payne Stewart's airplane 10 minutes after it had lost contact with Air Traffic Control and gone off course (per standard FAA procedure) why could they not intercept the \u201cplane\u201d that hit the Pentagon? It was in the air for another 50 minutes after the second tower impact. It was known to have been hijacked at that time and it\u2019s flight path was tracked up to the moment of impact. Washington D.C. is the most heavily guarded airspace in the country. Why??????? Incompetence? Do you really believe that? There were two air bases along the flight path that could have easily intercepted - one with about 7 minutes flight time the other 10.\r\n\r\nHow did a barely trained pilot hijacker, with no flight time or rating on the aircraft (and by one report a rental agency would not rent one of the \u201chijackers\u201d a plane because they did not think him a competent pilot), execute a move described by Air Traffic Control as like a military maneuver in precision? It is deadly apparent to me that the following does not compute: \r\nHe descended in a tight spiral 7000 feet in 2 minutes (in a 757 a commercial passenger jet not an F-15) leveled off at tree top height, actually clipping some of the foliage, and struck a 71 foot high wall (the height of the Pentagon) precisely in the one section under reconstruction - thus causing a minimum of casualties. (Also, curiously enough, it was on the exact opposite side of the Pentagon from where all the top Brass are located.) \r\nCan we say cognitive dissonance?\r\n\r\n1. Why didn't jets intercept the airliners since they had numerous warnings of terrorist attacks? \r\n2. Why did Ashcroft stop flying commercial, citing an unidentified "threat" in July 2001? (July 26th to be exact - cited were "threat assessments".)\r\n3. Why were there no photos or videos of the Pentagon plane? \r\n4. Where are the flight recorders? \r\n5. How did Bush see the first plane crash on live camera? \r\n6. How did they come up with the "culprits" so quickly? (The Al-qaeda and Osama Bin Laden were named the night of the attack. (Orrin Hatch made a statement that it was Bin Laden the night of 9\/11. Further all the "suspects" were named within 48 hours.)\r\n7. Why the strange pattern of debris from Flight 93? (Flight 93 which supposedly dived into the ground left a debris field stretching as far as 6 miles away {a door was found - not a light object}.) Why did 6 documented witnesses report seeing a low flying military Jet when flight 93 went down? Why did the FBI first deny that this was true and then when the witnesses could not be intimidated into changing their story come up with a new cover story?\r\n8. Why did none of the 19 hijackers appear on the passenger lists? \r\n9. How did the hijackers change the flight plan without having law enforcement or the military try to stop them? It is standard Protocol to scramble Air Force Interceptors if a plane deviates from course and does not respond to radio communication.\r\n10. Which hijacker's passport was found in the WTC rubble? Who found it and what time? \r\n11. How could the FBI distinguish between "regular" Muslims and hijacker Muslims on those flights? \r\n12. Why was there not one "innocent" Muslim on board any of these flights? \r\n13. Did someone go through the passenger lists looking for Muslim names and label them as hijackers? \r\n\r\nMOHAMMED ATTA \r\n \r\n1. Did the Florida police provide information that Atta was searched because of 1)an expired Visa, 2) driving a car without a license, 3) because of an incident at Miami Airport? \r\n2. Why did Atta leave his bag at the airport and the employees didn't put it on board? \r\n3.. Who found his bag? How can we be sure it it was his bag? \r\n4. Why did Atta place a video "how to fly planes", a uniform and his last will into his bag, knowing that he would commit suicide? \r\n5. Why did Atta leave his drivers license in a rental car? \r\n6. When did Atta train on a flight simulator? \r\n7. Why did Atta decide to study at Opa Locka, a famous hub of 6 Navy training bases and includes government partners like the U.S. Coast Guard Air Station, and Police (Miami-Dade) Aviation Unit? \r\n8. Why was Atta allowed to study since he was stopped by the police for driving without a license and also for violating his visa?\r\n\r\n\r\n \r\nTHE BLACK BOXES AND CRASH VIDEO \r\n \r\n1. Why were the Pentagon Black Boxes never recovered ? \r\n2. Why didn't the FBI release the air traffic controller's protocols? Why have they, the controllers, to this day not been allowed to talk to the press?\r\n3. Why did the FBI not release the Flight Data Recorder info? \r\n4. Who video-recorded the first plane hitting the tower? Why did he disappear from the media? \r\n5. Why were several of the Flight Data Recorders, designed to withstand a crash, said by the FBI to be inoperable and unreadable (particularly some of the cockpit conversations)?\r\n\r\n\r\nTHE HIJACKERS \r\n \r\n1. Who tipped the FBI to storm the Westin Hotel in Boston on September 12th? \r\n2. Where did the photos of all 19 hijackers come from? \r\n3. How were all hijackers identified just 2 days after the attack? Why did Senator Orrin Hatch accuse Osama Bin Laden the night of the attack? Did he know something?\r\n4. Why did all 19 names not appear on the passenger list until 2 days after the hijacker list was released? \r\n5. Why do none of the names appear on the passenger lists United Airlines and American Airlines gave to CNN? \r\n6. How could the hijackers disable the defense systems? \r\n7. Why did the FBI ignore, and allow to leave unquestioned, Bin Laden's family, who left the United States the day after the attack?\r\n8. What about the supposed hijackers who are still alive? We now know at least 5 of them were alive and provably elsewhere on 9\/11. Why does the FBI not remove their names and pictures from their list?\r\n9. Was there a reason to change the list of the original 19 hijackers? \r\n10. Why did it take 4 months until December 11 to charge Zacarias Moussaoui for the 9\/11 attacks when his case was known worldwide for months, but not mentioned in the American media? \r\n\r\nTHE BIN LADEN VIDEO\r\n\r\n1. Why did the Pentagon release a new and improved video version or translation of the Bin Laden home video? \r\n2. Why was it released only 8 hours after a translation by the German magazine MONITOR was released? (MONITOR did their own translation which was very different from the one released previously by the U.S. Government. The MONITOR article said their were major inaccuracies in the U.S. Government translation.)\r\n3. When was the Bin Laden Home Video found and who found it? \r\n4. Who found the video if Northern Alliance and US troops had not yet arrived in Kandahar or Jahalabad? \r\n5. Does the time stamp on the Bin Laden video indicate that it was found two weeks after it was produced? \r\n6. Why was the public not informed who found the video and when? \r\n7. Why according to MONITOR magazine, were the most controversial statements translated incorrectly? \r\n8. Why was the video released?

Here I would fall back on one of my favorite logical axioms: when confronted by contradictory assertions the one thing you can know immediately is that "one or both are false".\r\n\r\nA statement of any kind, from any person, must be looked at in the broader context of what one knows, can observe, and can learn. The more one knows the better, and broader, the context. There is of course one caveat here: If what one knows to be true is actually false then using that data or datum will yield a false conclusion. If a statement by someone is at variance with other things one has learned, or seen asserted, then further examination and research is required to resolve the conflict. In need of resolution is: Bush had prior knowledge vs. Bush did not have prior knowledge. \r\n\r\nI am not going to dive into a full blown recounting of all of the data of which I am aware but would submit the following well documented and easily verifiable FACTS:\r\n\r\n1. On the day of the attack and in the days immediately following September 11th Mr. Bush characterized the 911 attack as a "cowardly sneak attack" and asserted that their was no prior warning - none whatsoever. He went so far as to compare it to Pearl Harbor. \r\n2. On May 15th Ari Fleischer and on the 16th Condaleeza Rice (following the NY Times Headline \u201cBush Knew\u201d), visibly rattled by press accounts, reluctantly admitted that well yes maybe we uh sort of uh had uh vague warnings but nothing detailed enough to do anything about - really. Oh really?\r\n\r\nWhat about:\r\nThe FIVE occasions the Mossad warned U.S. Intelligence?\r\nPresident Mubarak's personal warning to Mr. Bush? The Bush people have denied this but Mubarak has steadfastly stood behind what he has said.\r\nVladimir Putin\u2019s warning to U.S. Intelligence TWO WEEKS before the attack.\r\nThe report in Germany's Frankfurt daily, Frankfurter Algemeine Zeitung (FAZ) published Sept. 14 that said the German intelligence, the BND, warned both the CIA and Israel that Middle Eastern terrorists were "planning to hijack commercial aircraft to use as weapons to attack important symbols of American and Israeli culture".\r\nThe high volume of stock option trading (On United and American Airlines) which seems to indicate someone knew in advance and was prepared to use this insider information to make a profit on it. The monetary value of these trades has been estimated as low 100 million to as high as 15 Billion. Which the CIA monitors in real time to detect clues to actions.\r\nOver time the \u201cvague\u201d warnings have taken on more and more detail:\r\nFBI Agent Christine Crowley\u2019s 13 page letter to the head of the FBI. (She has come under severe reprisal for having the courage to speak up and tell the truth.)\r\nReports from the Minnesota and Arizona FBI Field offices that were bottled up - by the same FBI man in Washington.\r\nThese examples are but the tip of the iceberg - a smidgin of the upper tip. Following the initial spin of \u201cthe reports were all vague\u201d when this was proven to be false the spin became - \u201cit is all \u201cConspiracy Mongering\u201d and we will not address it and it is even treason to suggest it.\r\nThat most of these reports are to be found mainly in the alternative press or foreign press outlets such as the Telegraph, The Independent, Isvestia, the French Press, speaks volumes about the American press by its absence. And no it does not mean they are patriotic.\r\n\r\nAs for the disingenuous assertion that no one had ever contemplated that Islamic Terrorists would use airliners for Kamikaze attacks:\r\n\u201cOn December 29, 1994, four terrorists alleged to have ties to Osama bin Laden hijacked Air France Flight 8969, a flight from Algiers to Paris. They loaded the plane with explosives and filled it with extra fuel, with the intent of ramming it into the Eiffel Tower. Commandos stormed the plane and killed the hijackers. (Source: NBC News. September 30, 2001. Chris Hansen, "The Lesson of Air France Flight 8969")\r\n\r\nA full seven years before September 11, an al-Qaeda suicide hijacking is partially executed and barely stopped by French intelligence. The Bush administration would have us believe that no one in the CIA had ever heard of such a thing.\u201d\r\n(Source \u201cCenter for Research on Globilisation University of Toronto\u201d.)\r\n\r\n\u201cIn July 2001, during the G8 Summit in Genoa, Italy, Deputy Prime Minister Gianfranco Fini revealed that Italian intelligence had uncovered a plot to crash a hijacked commercial airliner into either Air Force One or one of the buildings used for the summit. (Source: New York Newsday, Sept. 19, 2001) This jetliner kamikaze plot was directed at Bush himself. Taking the Bush denial to its logical extension, the White House would have us believe that Bush and the CIA were not only unaware of this plot, but also not warned by the Italian government.\u201d \r\n(Source \u201cCenter for Research on Globilisation\u201d)\r\nI remember hearing news reports of this at the time of the summit.\r\n \r\nThe following was taken from a story written by Larry Chin at the University of Toronto:\r\n\r\n[On May 15, Press Secretary and official White House liar Ari Fleischer nervously stuttered, \u2018The president did not receive information about the use of airplanes as missiles by suicide bombers. This was a new type of attack that was not foreseen\u2019.\u201d\r\n\r\nThis was followed by Condaleeza Rice, who repeated the spin: \u2018I don't think that anyone could have predicted that these people would take an airplane and slam it into the World Trade Center.\u201d\r\n\r\nBush himself issued a statement that he had no indication beforehand that "terrorists would hijack jets and deliberately crash them."]\r\n(Source for all 3 of the above quotes \u201cCenter for Research on Globilisation\u201d - Larry Chin.)\r\n\r\nIn 1995 Philippine intelligence busted an Al-Qaeda cell tied to the Mastermind of the first WTC bombing. Part of the captured booty was a computer with a hard drive containing data regarding plans for an \u201cOperation Bojinka\u201d. The basic plan was to hijack airliners and crash them into targets. The data was shared with the American CIA.\r\n\r\nThat the President has spoken less than honestly is pretty obvious. That his mouthpieces have been disingenuous is proven. The full extent of his foreknowledge remains in question but there is no doubt that when he got up in front of the American People and asserted that this was a cowardly sneak attack of which we had no forewarning that was a damnable lie. It was not the true state of affairs and he well knew it when he spoke it. Upon this point there is no doubt. What did the President know, when did he know it, and when did he know he knew it? When press reports began surfacing?\r\n\r\nUseful here is an intelligence agency term: \u201cLimited Hang Out\u201d. When discovery is inevitable, or a fait accompli, the tactic is to admit to a limited less damaging \u201cversion\u201d of the \u201ctruth\u201d so as to diffuse the situation and divert attention - \u201cthat\u2019s old news now\u201d. The Clinton Administration was masterful in it\u2019s use. When you have a press willing to further the disinformation campaign it becomes very effective.","author":"Squeaky Clean","parent_id":23591,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2003-02-08 21:15:42","modified":"2013-11-10 23:48:31","fileurl":""},{"id":28454,"heading":"Yes..","article":"As the garish inconsistencies become more known\r\nand still no OPEN INVESTIGATION is begun; even \r\nthe american people are beginning to realize that\r\nwe have a guidepost for impeachment.

"\r\n\r\n-----------\r\n\r\nReality:\r\nThis is an old conspiracy theory myth that has been floating around for way too long. \r\n\r\nhttp:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/sports\/golf\/stewart\/stewfs14.htm\r\n...\r\nBut after 9:44, the crew did not respond to radio calls. Within 24 minutes, the Federal Aviation Administration had asked the Air Force for help in tracking the jet.\r\n\r\nTwo F-15 fighter jets from Tyndall Air Force Base, which already were aloft on a routine training mission, were asked to check the jet. An F-16 and an A-10 from Eglin Air Force Base in Florida then were diverted to follow and "escort" the jet.\r\n...\r\n\r\nThe book "The Payne Stewart Story" by Larry Guest provides much more detail about the intercept. Guest sourced his story directly to the air traffic controllers who were handling Stewart's jet, Air Force officials, and Capt. Chris Hamilton, the pilot who intercepted the plane.
