Journalist Terry McDermott interviewed on NPR's Fresh Air

McDermott, a reporter for The Los Angeles Times was skeptical of the way the Sept. 11 hijackers were portrayed. So he traveled to 22 countries to research their identities, motives and life circumstances. He found that they weren't deeply disturbed. They came from intact families, most were middle-class, few were deeply religious, and none were abused or estranged. His new book is Perfect Soldiers: The Hijackers: Who They Were, Why They Did It.

Caught a part of this in the car. Very interesting and personal look into the hijackers.

1. Devil's Advocate

19 young men avoided all the redundant security, flew hijacked jets around the country, and then crashed them into high-profile targets.

Flame me for being a conspiracy nut, but there is no way in the world that it happened like the Bush admin. says it did. Not that they would lie or exaggerate about anything. Just bad intelligence.

2. Have you looked at the credentials of the ORIGINAL pilots,

the guys who allegedly were killed off by the hijackers?

The FAA maintains a database with airman credentials.
Those credentials blow the official Story into smithereens.

Flight 77 copilot David Charlebois had a First Class Medical Certification which had expired in May 2001.
That means he was not allowed to be an Air Transport Pilot.
Which means he had no business being a copilot on Flight 77.

The original pilots,
the US trained patriots whose memory we honor,
are a most curious bunch.
Try building a time-line of one life,
but only after you master the Rubik's Cube.
