Tracy, I totally agree. I've read Joel's articles on this issue a number of times in the past and, because I respect his work so highly, I have really tried to see it his way. But I just can't. If you believe 9/11 was an inside job, and that some of the perps were sitting in the Pentagon that morning, simple common sense insists that they must have had total control of whatever was heading their way. The idea that they would sit there and trust their lives to a man in a hijacked plane on a suicide errand, trust him to keep his word and stick to the plan, is completely unbelievable.

It's like those people who can't get over the idea of Oswald-as-shooter ("maybe the mafia hired him to kill JFK"). No one would hire Oswald to shoot anyone because he was a mediocre shot at best. The hijackers couldn't fly the planes. You use them as decoys and fall guys, and for nothing else.

I don't think anyone here thinks well of this article.
