I think this story is believable, too. But after some reflection, I think this makes MIHOP or LIHOP more likely.

One of the arguments that anti-conspirists make is that too many people would have needed to be involved to make MIHOP work. I think that is a good argument.

But what if it required only 1 or 2 people who knew:

a) A training exercise was planned for that day;

b) The way FAA communications would have worked on that day;

c) The procedures, or lack thereof, NORAD had to deal with such an event?

Someone who had that knowledge could feed it to the hijackers (or a "friendly" government), and very few additional people would have to know.

So the questions for me would be:

1. Who profited most from the events of 9/11;

and 2) Who would have had access to this information?

And on a side note (?), Cheney is implicated in a lie in this same article:

"In his bunker under the White House, Vice President Cheney was not notified about United 93 until 10:02—only one minute before the airliner impacted the ground. Yet it was with dark bravado that the vice president and others in the Bush administration would later recount sober deliberations about the prospect of shooting down United 93. "Very, very tough decision, and the president understood the magnitude of that decision," Bush's then chief of staff, Andrew Card, told ABC News."
