The NORAD tapes for 9/11 have been released.
"... But comments such as those above were repeated by other administration and military figures in the weeks and months following 9/11, forging the notion that only the passengers' counterattack against their hijackers prevented an inevitable shootdown of United 93 (and convincing conspiracy theorists that the government did, indeed, secretly shoot it down). The recordings tell a different story, and not only because United 93 had crashed before anyone in the military chain of command even knew it had been hijacked".

Chilling to listen to, but well worthwhile.

Thanks for posting that, Al. I don't have time right now to listen to the recordings (or even to read the transcripts), but I look forward to doing so with great interest.
