The Ruckus Society rethinks the U.S. anti-corporate globalization movement (tags)

Where was NORAD on 911? (tags)
One of the big mysteries to my mind is where in the hell was the North American Air Defense Command (NORAD) on 911. When Golfer Payne Stewart's plane went off course it had an F-15 Escort 10 minutes after it was reported to NORAD.
Where was air traffic control, when (flight 73) circled DC for more than half an hour. mabie telling F15s to leave the area and not force the jet to land.
