> > It\'s a bit refreshing to hear that there are people asking questions
> about 9-11. And Jared Israel, over this hour we\'re going to be talking
> about those questions, taking calls from our listeners, hearing your
> answers.
> >
> > * JARED ISRAEL
> >
> > Great.
> >
> > * MARK HAIM
> >
> > Before we get started though, can you give us a little thumb-nail sketch
> of who Jared Israel is, what you do, where you\'re from.
> >
> > * JARED ISRAEL
> >
> > Well, I\'m from New York. I\'m from the 60\'s generation. I\'m an old
guy.
> During the 60\'s - what did you do in the 60\'s?
> >
> > * MARK HAIM
> >
> > Don\'t say that, it makes me feel old.
> >
> > * JARED ISRAEL
> >
> > You are; you are. You\'re not getting better; you\'re getting older.
> >
> > I was active in the civil rights movement and the student movement
against
> the war in Vietnam. And then I did just regular life things. I got back
into
> activity in l998, dealing with media coverage of, especially, Yugoslavia,
> and since then media coverage of 9-11. Analyzing media distortion is a
> special interest of mine. I did a lot of that during the war in Vietnam.
So
> I have some experience.
> >
> > * MARK HAIM
> >
> > Sort of an investigator of journalists.
> >
> > * JARED ISRAEL
> >
> > Well, that\'s right. The thing that our Website, Emperor\'s Clothes,
does
> is look at how the media misrepresents information. Frighteningly, we find
> it occurs in definite patterns, which are very hard to explain in a nice
> way. But that\'s what we do. We study the facts.
> >
> > * MARK HAIM
> >
> > Very quickly, after the tragic events of September 11th you-all devoted
a
> rather extensive portion of your Website to a critique of the information
we
> were given. Do you want to share just a broad outline of what your
research
> has shown?
> >
> > * JARED ISRAEL
> >
> > Well, the first thing that shocked me and a lot of other people too
> because I\'ve heard this from people in the military and the Customs
> Department - was that no planes went in the air over Washington, D.C.
until
> after the Pentagon was hit.
> >
> > * MARK HAIM
> >
> > You\'re talking about planes that might intercept incoming -
> >
> > * JARED ISRAEL
> >
> > Yeah. Intercept doesn\'t necessarily mean an aggressive act. It means a
> plane goes up and interacts with another plane.
> >
> > There\'s a huge Air Force Base 10 miles from the Pentagon, Andrews Air
> Force Base, that has two combat-ready fighter wings. The Air National
Guard
> Fighter Wing describes itself as being maintained in the highest possible
> state of combat readiness. None of those planes went in the air. But then,
a
> few minutes after the Pentagon was hit, they did go in the air, because we
> have news reports about that. Why would that happen?
> >
> > * MARK HAIM
> >
> > So essentially, four planes are hijacked and they\'re able to observe
> these planes on their radar, going off course and yet, no response. Is
that
> it?
> >
> > * JARED ISRAEL
> >
> > Well, here\'s for example. At 9:06 the FAA, according to their account,
> closed the air corridor between Cleveland and Washington, DC. (1) If they
> closed this air corridor, which is one of the most extreme actions the FAA
> has ever taken, why wouldn\'t they put planes in the air over Washington?
> >
> > * MARK HAIM
> >
> > This is after the -
> >
> > * JARED ISRAEL
> >
> > After the first two hits. The second World Trade Center hit was at 9:03,
> approximately. So this was at 9:06, within three minutes.
> >
> > The U.S. has a very sophisticated air force. On Emperor\'s Clothes we
> posted some of the documents which lay out what NORAD, the FAA - the
Federal
> Aviation Administration - and the>Joint Chiefs of Staff are supposed to do
> when there\'s a hijacking. (2)
> >
> > The FAA says they knew or strongly suspected there was a hijacking by
> 8:20. (3) We believe they knew sooner but let\'s take their word. Vice
> President Cheney said on \'Meet the Press\' on September 16th, that the
> Secret Service went on emergency open lines with the FAA as soon as the
> first plane hit the World Trade Center. Which was at 8:45 Eastern Time,
> right? So, if the Secret Service was on open lines to the FAA at 8:45; if
at
> 9:06 the corridor between Washington and Cleveland was closed, then how
> could it be that no planes were put in the air over Washington?
> >
> > * MARK HAIM
> >
> > What time was the Pentagon hit?
> >
> > * JARED ISRAEL
> >
> > The Pentagon was hit at approximately 9:45 Eastern Time, so we\'re
talking
> about an hour and 40 minutes between the time they knew there was a
> hijacking and the time the Pentagon was hit. That hijacked plane was
flying
> west from Boston. So they knew it could have been flying to Washington,
> right? Why didn\'t they put planes in the air?
> >
> > * MARK HAIM
> >
> > When you ask these questions, what answers are given?
> >
> > * JARED ISRAEL
> >
> > Well, no Official has answered us. Which is amazing, because the
> documentation that we\'ve produced has gotten a tremendous readership.
> >
> > The answers they have given in general to this question, because it has
> been raised by millions of people, is, \"We just weren\'t ready. We
didn\'t
> realize this kind of thing was coming.\"
> >
> > That was the first answer they gave. And then they changed the answer on
> the 14th of September and said they had put planes in the air but it was
too
> late. This is very important because they didn\'t say that during the
first
> three days. They only discovered that they had put planes in the air three
> days, four days after the event. Now just think about that.
> >
> > * MARK HAIM
> >
> > These planes were put in the air from where?
> >
> > * JARED ISRAEL
> >
> > They claimed two planes were put in the air from Otis Air Force Base but
> weren\'t in time to catch Flight 11 before it hit the World Trade Center.
> And they claimed planes were sent out of Langley Air Force Base, which is
> around 126 miles south of Washington, DC, near Newport News. They claimed
> that again those planes were too late.
> >
> > Now, that story is simply absurd. Consider. A plane hit the Pentagon,
> supposedly, because we\'re going by their story, at 9:45. That plane left
> Dulles Airport. It went west 300 miles to Ohio and turned around.
> >
> > Supposedly the transponder was turned off. Turning off a transponder
does

would

they

have

right?

the

planes

under
